I'm not really up on all of the laws about adoption, but, just say for a moment that Henry's adoption is 100% illegal and Regina has no claim to him at all. I've seen it posted that Emma wouldn't have any claim to him either - only Neal would, since he didn't sign away his rights.

But if Henry's adoption is illegal, why wouldn't Emma have any legal claim to him, if she never really gave up her rights to him?
