Holy crap on a cracker. Adoptive parents are "real" parents but who says Regina actually adopted him? He was brought to her, was he not? Henry was acquired, not adopted. Regina would've had to leave Storybrooke or outsiders come in for an actual adoption to have taken place. If you want to get technical about it.
