Exactly what show have you been watching where you think that bio parents = good and adopted parents = bad?

Rumple and Milah were pretty bad bio parents (nutjob Dark One and child abandonment). Cora is arguably the worst parent on the show and she's a bio mom but even she has some pretty stiff competition in Peter Pan. Cinderella and Belle had shitty parents too. Jiminy Cricket had crappy bio parents. Hell, even Red's mom was a total bitch (pun totally intended).

There really aren't that many adoptive parents in the first place and most of them (aside from Regina and Henry) are overwhelmingly positive.

The show very much makes the point that you make your own family. Red and Snow. Pinocchio and Gepetto. Rumple and his crazy spinsters. Dude, even SNOW goes around forgiving THE FREAKING EVIL QUEEN for all the things even though Regina's spent the better part of her her life trying to kill Snow. They're not biologically related but to Snow they're 'family'.

It's the bio relationships that are seriously fucked.

I'm sick of people using the argument that OUAT sheds a bad light on adoption and step parents. Just because the main adoptive relationship is abusive and crazy doesn't mean it's making a blanket statement about it. When a kid is adopted by the Evil Queen, historically a notoriously bad post child for step / adopted parenting anyway - who has a history of abusing and attempting to kill her non biological children (and other completely unrelated children), it's not a stretch to think that she might continue in that direction. It's not a commentary on adoption and step parenting in the real world, it's the Evil Freaking FAIRYTALE Queen.
