If you just go off of Regina as abusive and Emma coming in only after she sees Regina mistreating Henry, it's not necessarily anti-adoption. The problem is when other characters continuously guilt Emma into doing things by telling her she's Henry's mother, i.e., she has an obligation to help him by virtue of being biologically related. THAT's problematic as all hell. The idea that biological family trumps all and you have an obligation to biological children even after you relinquish rights was reinforced in the Hansel and Gretel story.

The stereotypical treatment of foster care is also problematic. Sure, there are foster parents who aren't great...but there are long lists of requirements to become and stay a foster parent, the "pay" (actually reimbursements and vouchers that don't begin until at least a month after the kid's lived with you) is shit, social workers deal directly with foster children (so abuse is rooted out quickly), and foster kids often have, for obvious reasons, numerous physical and mental problems. You know what a foster kid who bounces from family to family and becomes independent at sixteen (two years before the average US age of majority when foster care ends) says to me? A severely troubled kid, not a bad foster care system.
