''Wrong! Only Emma, Arthur, Hook, and Rumple. (And Zelena and maybe Henry if you stretch it)''

Emma was never an orphan. She was separated from her parents, but she was never an orphan. She was never abandoned permanently. When Snow and David put her in that tree, they believed she would break the first curse and eventually reunite with them. Which is what happened. Henry could be considered an orphan, since Emma had every intention of giving him up permanently. However, Neal never knew he had existed and Emma resumed her role as one of his mothers, so I'm not really sure. As far as I know, only Rumpelstiltskin and Zelena are orphans.
