I was never arguing that adopted parents don't love their kids just as much. They totally do, at least in most cases. (But the same is true for biological parents - they don't all love their kids, either.) But it seemed like you were saying that adoptive parents love their kids more, or at least try harder. After obtaining the kid, both adoptive and biological parents have equal chances of being good or bad. Back to the Regina/Henry/Emma thing, the thing is, genetics affect personality, so it makes sense that biological parents would have stuff in common with their kid, and therefore they would enjoy each other's company. But as long as the adopted parent and kid are a good match, their love is, indeed, just as powerful.
