And Jefferson!maybe he had something to do with Henry's adoption. Well he actually had his cursed life and his fairytale life in his head at the same time, the same thing that happened to everyone else in town post-curse only Jefferson had to live with it for 28 years during the curse. Although he would have been the only person to know who Regina was during the curse, he may not have been able to actually leave Storybrooke. Anyone trying to leave during the curse would be injured somehow. Regina of course could have been the cause of this and just allowed Jeffererson to leave.

None of this really explains the biggest mystery surrounding Henry's adoption though. With Gold being cursed and being the only one to know of the savior pre-curse, we have no idea how it happened to be Henry, the saviors son of all children, to be the child Regina chose for adoption. It has to be the work of a character not yet introduced, or possbily August...its really up in the air
