Why didn't the Black fairy snatch up baby Zelena when she was abandoned in the woods? Maybe she is just looking for Rumple, and so she only snatches male babies.

I mean, with magic she could snatch every unguarded child if she wanted. She is being selective in some way if she didn't snatch someone like Zelena.

If time doesn't run right in her home realm then she could end up very disoriented when she comes to the EF. Maybe she said it was impossible because she was sure he was still a baby, and didn't bother to ask about the date.
