The shut down of such randomness on the thread:

Regina is Henry's mom and has the legal rights to him as far as we know of. Nevertheless, she raised him and would feel much more as his mom, regardless of Emma. Emma is his biological mother and that in no way overrides legal rights.

If you want to think Regina's adoption is shady and she would have lost the rights, then neither is his legal mother, since none would have the rights to his custody. Both are his mother, just in different ways. If you disagree, think it over and pursue another thread. As a person raised by another family member, that family member is more of my mother than my biological mother will ever be, even if she isn't a terrible person.

Regina have the legal rights (as far as we are concerned) and Emma is the biological one. As this discussion is off topic, all posts going forward will be deleted.

Another thread can be found or open to further discuss this topic.
