But by having them be genetically related it is a slap in the face to every adoptive family in America. That message of family is who you choose would go over a lot more smoothly if Emma and Henry really were not related.

But them being related was kind of important for the plot? If they weren't related he would've had no reason to find her and she'd have never returned to Storybrooke. If you consider that a slap in the face to every adoptive family in America... I think you're putting waaay too much importance on it.

Now you are seeing why the show is problematic. The writers based it on a common but offensive, stereotype that adopted kids want to find their bio-donors. Some do, but the social expectation is that every adoptive kid must, so playing into that stereotype in your show's basic premise and plot mover is a recipe for trouble. It reinforces a common negative perception that insults the vast majority of happily adopted kids and adoptive parents.

are you fucking serious.

the ONLY REASON henry wanted to find his bio parents was because regina gaslighted and abused him his entire life.

if regina wasn't a fucking psychotic horrible person he probably never would have cared. emma tried her hardest to leave the entire first season but henry kept BEGGING HER to stay and help him.
