Then with that info whosyourmomma.com took it from there? This is likely even in real life. It seems like Regina never made it a secret that Henry was adopted. Even without finding any paperwork, he could take his name, Regina's name, and his DOB and put that into the website and likely get results.

There are real-life, somewhat shady websites that do this. They search otherwise sealed files (as a closed adoption would be) and give you the information for a usually hefty price. What did they say he charged MM's card? 200?

After that, there are other websites that he could use to track Emma. A simple background check would show her address. Hell, if you know the city (or even less) that someone lives in, you can find people's addresses on Whitepages for free! lol
