With that he managed to get James to be adopted as well.


 * o Wow, if that actually happened, I guess King George didn't know Rumplestiltskin was the one who made his wife sterile. I doubt he'd be able to stand the sight of Rumplestiltskin if he knew the person who did that to his wife. That'd be quite sad, though. :( The way he spoke to Snow White in "Lady of the Lake" about how he was once young, in love and wanted children speaks volumes of how that really forced him to change. That, paired along with the death of his beloved son (James), caused him to lose all his hope. I would say it was wrong for him to assume David could just replace James. I think he was doing it just to alleviate his own grief of losing a son, which is kind of the wrong way to deal with grief in the first place.
