I've long held a theory that the Dark Curse as Regina cast adapted itself whenever needed. I think it did this when Ashley tried to leave, I think it did this when Henry was given the book (as in, the Curse new it's 28 year run was nearly over) and I do believe that it adapts itself for Regina. It was made for her and her ultimate victory/happy ending.

So, when you ask, "What was Regina thinking?" as it relates to adopting a baby, it was probably pretty simple. There are several reasonable ways to go, imo.


 * Regina didn't think about bringing a baby into town, as she never thought coming into town would be an issue. And it wasn't. Same with her leaving.
 * Regina knew the "border crossings" would be issues for others, but not her, as she cast the Curse and it's designed for her pleasure (ha).

How did she actually cross? The Curse let her. Part of the "fun" of the Curse for her was that she got her very own happy ending. So when she wanted a baby to vill the void, the Curse provided her a way.

Hell, you could even venture as far as saying Gold found Henry in particular because he was part of the overall way to end the Curse.
