Emma gave him up and tried to become his mother later in his life. They are both right and they are both wrong. That's the beauty of the show: heroes can do bad things and villains can do good things.

[@emilyhess222]

I get that Regina raised him, I get Emma only knew him for a little while, however, I think they both have valid points. Emma is trying to protect the child who she couldn’t keep but eventually found her and asked her for help. As far as Emma is concerned she has only seen that Regina is willing to hurt people and that her son almost died after begging for her help. On the flip side Regina is used to always getting what she wants (because she takes it) and has raised Henry since he was a baby. She has learned to love this child despite the evil she has endured and dished out. She feels like she must defend her family from an invader even though she has caused all of the problems. (The curse, killing Archie) I see both points and to be honest if I were the law I would strip Regina of everything and put her in jail for murder. Meaning she would lose custody and with no next of kin and the birth mother there and willing to take him and being clean if the law for over 10 years the law would probably give her custody. Regina was wrong to hurt people and Emma was wrong to basically say all the time and love Regina had given is nothing but from an outside perspective Regina committed more than one crime she doesn’t deserve custody. And don’t forget she did poison her own son even if she didn’t mean to.

[@christinaallene123]

Why are there still Emma vs Regina debates? this was 3 seasons ago. They've found their rhythm, whats the point in arguing about it? Fact is, Regina may have loved and protected him after Emma gave him up but she also wasn't a perfect mother and made him feel isolated because of her curse. When he began to suspect the truth about everyone in town, she tried to convince him he was just a little kid with a wild imagination and that there was nothing to what he was feeling. He didn't like the way he was living, wasn't happy, so he went to find Emma. Emma wasn't willing to take care of him but she care about him and wanted to make sure he was in good hands. So she stayed in Storybrooke in order to see why Henry was so against his mother. She moved into Mary Margaret's place and began to warm up to him, she was by no means a motherly figure but Henry did need her there. After the curse was broken, and Henry began to truly resent Regina, he got closer to his grandparents and started staying with them in their apartment. However, just because he resented her for the things she had done to the residents of Storybrooke and the way she treated his biological family members, he still appreciated the things she had done for him while he was growing up and still loved her as a mother and wanted to help her. He did just that and now there are no issues with the whole situation anymore. Fact is, Henry needed Emma in his life when he brought her to Storybrooke, and when Pan tried to curse everyone, but he also loved Regina and need her in his life up until that point. He needed both of them at different times, and now he needs both of them at the same time. The parenting issues have been resolved between the two. Be happy.

How are people blaming Emma here? I mean, did you guys see what Regina did in the series leading up to this? She enslaved, raped, and later murdered Graham, she stripped everyone in Storybrooke of their happiness for nearly three decades, she fed dozens of innocent children to the Blind Witch, framed Mary, tried to kill Emma several times, deliberately tried to convince Henry he was delusional, and more. Yeah, people don't trust her off the bat. Can you blame them?

[@rgm0005]

***** You know who else's memories Regina erased? Henry's. After he disagreed with her plan to kill everyone he loved. See, does Regina love Henry? Yeah, in her own twisted way. But if she's proven anything, it's that it's...a twisted way and that she can and will hurt people, including him.

[@rgm0005]

Twisted because of Snow? Um, no, especially not the former. At best you can say that Snow told a secret when she was was ten years old, but even ignoring the fact that you should no better than to rely on ten year olds to keep secrets, it didn't actually matter. We saw in the next Regina focused episode that Cora had put up a barrier to keep her from escaping. We also saw that Cora had the globe that could track down her blood relatives. We also saw Cora's magical power. Regina never had any hope of escaping with Daniel, just as Daniel never had any hope of surviving. Now, you might be able to claim Cora's responsible for Regina...except still no, because all the horrible things Regina did happened long after Cora was gone and she mostly did it to people who didn't deserve it. Cora wasn't the one who made Regina murder an entire village. She didn't make Regina take Graham's heart and rape him countless times. She didn't make her send innocent children into the blind witch's house to get eaten. She didn't make her strip away the happiness of countless innocent people. Yeah, a lot of people wanted to hurt Regina after the curse, on account of the fact that she ruined all their lives for nearly three decades. And Regina has flat-out said she wasn't sorry for it, either. But you know what, after Emma and Snow and Charming stopped the mob--for no reason except for Henry--the towns people agreed to stop and never made any further attempts. Even though Regina, you know, proceeded to go on to try and kill them all and to destroy the magic beans that were their only way home. Don't paint this as if Regina was justified in her efforts to murder innocent people, because she sure as hell wasn't. Nothing that happened to her justifies even a fraction of what she did, and loving Henry (who she flat-out told to his face wasn't enough) doesn't make it all okay.

[@rgm0005]

Um. What? No, that really wasn't even remotely Snow's fault--who was ten years old and manipulated by Cora from the beginning (as in, since she murdered Snow's own mother). She was not at fault for anything. It was Cora's fault that she was a monster and, as I noted before, there was never any real chance of her letting Daniel live. Just like it was Regina's fault for all the lives she ruined of her own free will.

[@rgm0005]

Um. And from Tinker Bell. And the Genie. And Snow. All of whom tried to help her at great risk to themselves and who she betrayed and/or tried to kill. Hell, quite a few people have tried to help Regina over the course of the show, she just does stuff like toss them in pits. You really can't say no one has given Regina a chance because she's gotten dozens. And yes, Regina thought Snow was to blame...because she's kind of crazy. Cora literally ripped Daniel's heart out in front of her.

[@rgm0005]

She adopted him, because she was lonely, she wanted someone to love her. And back then, there was no one to love her, she killed her father (the only person she ever loved), and Cora was a piece of **it, and on top of it her own mother killed her fiancé right in front of her.

And right now, Emma thinks that Regina just murdered Archie. Of course she wouldn't want Henry around someone like that.

[@drlee2]

I think the thing that is being overlooked here is that during the course of Season 1, Emma developed a bond with Henry and realized that she DID want to be his mother and that she made a mistake in giving him up. She told Henry in one of the late Season 1 eps that she wanted to him to be with her "more than anything". It was around this time that Regina was wreaking havoc, kidnapping and framing people for murder. Emma realized that Regina was sociopathic. She didn't want Henry raised under this environment any longer. She wasn't just acting out of maternal instincts and emotion, but she was also using reason and logic. Regina was losing it, almost killing Henry in trying to kill Emma. In the heat of the moment here, when Emma says that Henry is her son, she's thinking of Henry's well-being in addition to the fact that she loves Henry as her son. The rest of this episode clearly shows that Emma herself has serious doubts that she can be a good mother to Henry because she's never done it before, but she knows that it's in Henry's best interests that she give her best effort for his sake.

Regina is more Henry's mom than Emma because even with what she has done in the past SHE raised him, SHE took care of him, and SHE was there when Emma wasn't. Regina is my all time favorite TV character...and that's saying a lot bc I watch A LOT of TV...her character development throughout every season is absolutely amazing especially in season 3 we're she is no longer evil!!!! anyways back to what I was saying, all because Henry found Emma after all these years that does not give her the right to call herself "his mother" like no...bish plz. thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

[@Mini-Toast_]

Wheres your super power now Emma?

[@GlamSohoDoll]

Whatever Regina did or wanted to do she did it out of fear of losing her son. Understandably so as she tends to lose everyone she loves. Emma biologically being Henry's mother means NOTHING! That's not what makes a mother. Nobody stole him from her she willingly gave him away and from the moment Regina adopted him he was her son in every way she raised him, loved him and cared for him. She has 10 long years of motherhood with him. I understand that Emma got close to him and they have a relationship but it really irritates me when she tries to take over or make decisions. Regina IS HIS mother, I really love that we get to see more of their relationship in season 3. I just wish Emma would know her place she isn't the mother who raised him, she gave him up for godsake! She seriously needs to get it through her head that he belongs with Regina, of course she'll continue to be a part of his life but he's Regina's son no matter what she has no right to disregard the fact that he was adopted as she well knows and that he has a mother who has been raising him all these years. I feel like we get to see the real loving mother/son relationship between Henry and Regina in Season 3 now that all the betrayal and secrets are in the past. They really do love eachother and share a special bond. I am 100% behind Regina as Henry's mother.

[@METerrell]

Really? Regina's trying to convince Henry that he was crazy was because she was afraid of losing her son? Brought him into a town where she knew that no one was aging, which would keep him from ever making friends, and decided to adopt a child because she was trying to fill a void. She also wiped his mind after telling him her plan of murdering everyone in Storybrooke just so she could have him all to herself. Regina's adoption was never legal as "Regina Mills" was an identity created by the curse, so Henry doesn't belong with Regina. And you're 100% behind someone who abused her kid, ripped other kids away from their parents, (Emma (if Snow and Charming hadn't sent her away, Regina would have killed her), Owen/Greg, Hansel and Gretel), sent kids into a place where they would die, slaughtered a village which undoubtedly had children, and had a vendetta against a child (Snow) for something her own mother did.

Is it just me, or does anyone feel that at best Emma is more of a big sister to Henry? Regina, I buy her as being Henry's mom more, for reasons like she's a bit older and to me has more of that mom look (when she's not plotting to kill someone). I also see her as being more of an authority figure than I do Emma: like the way Regina told Henry not to argue with Emma once, I feel that I would buy that more coming from her than I would if it came from Emma. Anyone else feel that way, or is it just me?

[@Cassandra765]

I think there is more than one type of motherly figure and I don't think one is necessarily better than the other. Just because Emma is more laid back doesn't mean she's never put her foot down with Henry or that she wouldn't if she had to. Maybe season 1 Emma would be hesitant to do, but I don't think the person she's become now would be afraid to. Regina is more strict, but she can also be a bit more possessive of Henry at times, which I don't think is necessarily a good thing. But at the end of day, I think they are both good parents to Henry.

Emma Henry is not your son, I'm sorry but once you put up your child up for adoption he in no longer yours.

[@Alicenightmare69]

Snow White is Regina's step-daughter. Also blood will not always win over everything else. Emma barely knew Henry, I understand her wanting a relationship with him but it is not okay to undermine Regina as Henry's legal mother (and in MY opinion real mother) Regina raised Henry from the time he was a baby, Regina is Henry's mom not Emma.

[@Alicenightmare69]

And without Regina Henry would have been adopted by Wendy's brothers who were working for Pan and would have been killed. And if not that maybe he would have not been adopted like Emma and would have grown up in foster care. Emma gave Henry his best chance at life, Regina was/is his best chance.

[@Alicenightmare69]

Just because she gave birth to him does not mean she has any right to call Henry her son after she put him up for adoption. She is not more of a mother to Henry than Regina is.

[@Alicenightmare69]

I'm not saying that Emma wasn't important to Henry being alive because well duh she was. I'm saying that yes Emma carried Henry for nine months but that's it! Regina is the one who raised him who taught him how to walk, to talk, who spent countless sleepless nights with him. Regina adopted Henry, Henry is HER son not Emma's. You can give birth to something but once you give it up it is no longer yours to claim as your own, that right is taken away once you give said thing up, in this case Henry. Emma is his birth mom that does not mean she is his REAL mom.

[@Alicenightmare69]

HOLY DAMN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ADOPTION HERE!!!! My whole problem is that Emma wanted the best for her son, so she made a hard decision and gave him up, so someone else could be his mom. And now Emma thinks she can just come in and basically say to Regina "no, he is not your son he is mine." Putting you kid up for adoption is not letting someone else to take care of your child while you sort your shit out. This is why state give the mother about a month to change their mind after that time has passed they can no longer claim them. I honestly don't think you are grasping what I'm trying to say, its pointless at this point to continue.

[@mari-khaleesi]

I love how everyone forgets the stuff that Regina did to Henry in season 1. She made him go to therapy and made him seem like he was all crazy and such. She tried to "protect him" (by protecting herself) by lying to him his whole life and forcing him to live in a cursed world (where he grew up and no one else did along with forgetting many of those memories). And what she did to Emma before Emma was even born. She cast a dark curse where it forced her to be separated from her parents. To live out in the streets and go from orphanage to orphanage never having an actual family. and resenting her parents who didn't even know she existed because they were forced to live in a cursed world (where they weren't even together!). For her to be pressured in not screwing up to unleash said curse and bring out everyone's happy endings. Let's not forget some shady stuff that Regina did in season one that no one talks about (because obviously it's a show) with the number one being Graham's death and her practically taking full on advantage of him. She tortured Snow for most of her life and forced Snow to go into hiding (losing her parents in the process and her kingdom). Regina has killed A LOT of people. I still like Regina as a character overall and she paid the price a lot but in this instance I find it's easy to understand why Emma and the Charmings considered her dangerous. Also wish the whole Graham thing was mentioned...but gonna excuse the writers on that one. Plus I loved the fact that Emma screamed that out like she had that built up. Some people say that was the point they didn't like her, but I think the opposite. Emma let a lot of things slide and it was refreshing to see her built up anger. In this case she truly thought Regina was dangerous (and her track record wasn't good) and Emma had enough. I mean end of season one Regina tried to poison Emma and as a result Henry got hurt because of her carelessness and selfishness. I wish Emma used more of that anger with Neal but that's another topic. Obviously throughout the seasons her friendship with Regina got way better and I think they both respected one another at the end. Plus Henry went to seek out Emma. Henry was aware of Regina casting the curse and needed help from Emma to break it. Henry considered Regina a bad person.. Henry wanted to get to know his biological mother. Henry was ready to forgive because he knew Emma's decision to give him up was one of the hardest things she's ever done.

[@Cassandra765]

I felt bad for Regina here, but cut the heroes some slack. Trust isn't built in a few days. And it takes more than a couple of goods deeds to make up for YEARS of bad ones. And they are still coming off of remembering that they are fairytale people who were cursed and spent 28 years in misery, unable to find happiness because of her. Again, I feel bad for Regina because I know she was innocent here, but not enough to forget that she's done a lot to earn this animosity and mistrust. And as for Emma not being Henry's mother, imo, she is in every sense of the word. She's earned that right at this point. Almost everything she's done since Henry came back into her life has been for Henry. She is every bit his mom. Just like Regina is. And when considering some of Regina's very recent bad decisions, I can understand why Emma would want to protect Henry from that.

[@Cassandra765]

BlueeStarProductions TM I never said that the other characters on this show haven't done bad things. Of course they have. But their bad deeds don't magically wipe away all of Regina's, so my original comment still stands. They still have more than enough reasons not to trust Regina. And as for them "making" Regina, I'm sorry but I call BS on that. Yes, Regina has had bad things happen to her and yes, certain people in her life (Cora and Rumple) have done a lot to put Regina on the path to darkness. But it's not like she had absolutely no free will. She had also been given a few opportunities to make better choices and instead chose to give in to her anger and hatred. That's not on anybody but her.

[@TheBlueStar16]

Yes i do see your point but do you pay attention at all? the shows main thing is that evil isn't born it's made snow told cora about regina and daniel the darkness made rumple evil and his father peter pan abandoned him and cora was traded wrong because she was a pesant and ingrid was evil because her sister was afraid of her snow magic and trapped her in the urn hook stole ursula's voice and maleficent became evil cause of briar rose cruella's hasn't been explained but after heart of gold it will. can you see my point?

[@Cassandra765]

Yes, I understand that, but I will never agree with the idea that all of these villains are merely victims of circumstance and nothing more, because it's simply not true. Evil isn't just made by the things that happen to us, they're also made by the choices we make. I've seen both Regina and Rumple be given chances to be better people and then slap it away because they'd rather have power, vengeance and hatred. That's on them and no one else. And the pain they inflict on innocent people who have done nothing to them is also on them.

[@tomwheeler2012]

That is the story of Cinderella being replayed thru Emma and Regina. The biological mother is the savior. The adopted mother is the evil stepmother. The sleeping curse from the evil stepmother. The biological mother being the prince that wakes her biological child. The problem here is that biological mothers are not always better than adopted mothers and their story line reinforces the prejudice that women have in favor of abortion over adoption. No adoptive mother who sacrifices their life to raise someone elses child wants to carry the baggage of the evil stepmother.

[@Hagridslefttoee]

Regina IS Henry’s mother. Blood doesn’t mean shit, Regina raised Henry, took him in and gave it her all to give him the life and love she never got. Even if it was handled wrong, she still tried - considering she didn’t know what the love of a mother felt like. She was there for Henry’s first words and first steps, she changed every nappy, went thru every tantrum, sleepless nights, every fever, first birthday, first Christmas, first Easter, first everything. She IS his mother. It’s nice that Emma wants to be in Henry’s life again, and I (personally) think she has a right to be. But let’s not forget that for 10 years of Henry’s life, Regina was the only person who loved him - even if it was a little controlling and abusive. She even said herself “I don’t know how to love very well.”

Emma abandoned the kid in the first place and now what? She expects to just walk in and take over after the fact when she never had interest in raising him? Really? She ditched him as soon as she had an opportunity to get rid of him, how does she think that she can just be the winner of the day, when it was her fault he got adopted in the first place! If she really gave a dam she would not have backed out in the beginning, she would have stuck to the comment if she cared, the fact that she up an left at the first opportunity tells me she doesn't really give a shit, she's just trying to ruin the reputation of the person who does give a crap because she cannot stand not being the center of attention. She should have minded her own business.

Ok so believe me I love Regina but keep in mind at this point shes not a good mother and hasn't been for a long time. She abused Henry by trying to convince him he was crazy. Which is definitely abuse. She manipulated the people Henry thought he could trust to make her life happy while not thinking about Henry's Happiness.(by threatening Archie to manipulate Henry). Emma at this point has been sought out by her son who she had no intention of interfering with until she saw how lonely his life was; which paralleled her own life. Emma at this point has more of right to raise Henry because her entire life has been about sacrificing her happiness for Henry's. She gave him up to give him his best chance. Right now she is the better mother. Now as far as legal custody goes even if we ignore crimes in the enchanted forest. She has murdered by this point(Graham) and framed an innocent person for murder. So if the legal system were involved Regina would have lost custody. Now maybe you could then make an argument that Cora would be the next to get him but given that she has her own history of abusing Regina, Emma would be the best candidate. Now Regina goes though a lot to redeem her self and I do think she becomes a great mother as time goes on but right now she not healthy for Henry.

Emma es la madre de Henry,a partir de la segunda mitad de la primera temporada,se hace cargo del niño y después vemos cómo lo tiene a su cargo, Henry siempre la reconoció y la prefirió antes que a Regina,y aunque ella lo cuido y lo amo durante diez años,no quita todo lo que hizo mal,eso no se puede negar 🤔

[@cotygv]

Sé que es un comentario de hace tres años, pero como eres el único comentario en español quise responderte. Regina lo cuido durante los primeros diez años pero físicamente, o sea, tuvo salud física, una casa, comida, ropa y educación, pero ella se olvidó completamente de su salud mental y emocional que es tan importante como la física. Hacer pasar a tu hijo como que está loco y llevarlo a terapia cuando sabes que no es así es abuso psicológico, hacerlo crecer en un pueblo donde nadie envejece excepto por él, también es emocional y psicológicamente muy dañino. Y la frutilla del pastel descubrir que tu madre adoptiva es la reina malvada que maldijo a todo un reino, incluyendo a tu familia biológica no es nada agradable tampoco. Además en esta escena particular Emma vio como Regina mataba a Archie (sé que era cora haciéndose pasar por Regina, pero Emma no sabe eso), así que es obvio que Emma va a actuar como actuó y tratar de alejar a Henry de Regina.

[@WannabeWriter100]

Okay, I might be going out on a limb here, but why can't they BOTH be Henry's mum? Yes Emma had no right to say what she did - it was cruel and untrue for sooo many reasons - but I don't think there's any need for this argument. Regina is more his mum than Emma is, that's true (she's his support, his rock, the person he runs to when he needs a cuddle) but Emma has become a major part of his life as well and that should be acknowledged. At the same time, Regina wasn't always a great mum for Henry, she actually treated him pretty horribly in some ways (e.g. pushing him unnecessarily, lying to him and manipulating him) in the first season. My point is, neither of them are the perfect parent and both of them are important to Henry for different reasons. Emma said this three seasons ago - why are we arguing about this?

[@aloneunderthestars1393]

Both were scared they would completely take over his life and when finding out that she is the evil queen, Emma was scared Henry could be hurt by her magic. Maybe she could've given her a chance , but I find the incident that put him under a sleeping curse made her a lot more wary since her magic put him under a spell he almost didn't wake up from.

[@CeltycSparrow]

They do eventually both become his mom. They are both very strong, beautiful, powerful, yet still very stubborn women who just had to learn to trust each other first and realize that Henry loved BOTH of them and that they could both share the title of "Mommy" and not lose him. And you're right....while Regina wasn't always the perfect Mom for Henry, she raised him....she was there for all the late night bottle feeds, the tantrums, the times when he was sick and through his first years of school and she felt very threatened when Emma showed up out of the blue claiming SHE was his mother AND nurturing his belief in fairy tales to boot. But eventually, she learned to trust Emma that Emma wouldn't take Henry from her. And Emma, while she IS Henry's biological mother, hasn't been perfect either. She gave Henry up and lost the first ten years of his life, HE had to go find HER, and then she has moments like this where she's challenging Regina's right to parenthood....not to mention other things like when she was the Dark One and when she was just learning magic and fled from everyone, including her son.

Baelfire: Sperm provider Emma: Birthgiver Regina: Mom The writers need to stop letting emma be all ignorant and "no I'm his mom" bullshit. It doesn't matter if she ended up back in his life! He will NEVER be his mom and the writers are fucked up for undermining Regina's parental rights. Every time in the show when emma claims he's her son I just want to push her off a cliff.

[@andreataylor7044]

Maria Muse Do you need help pushing her off the cliff? I am in on that. LOL

[@angeleswinchester3496]

Andrea Taylor But then Killian's going to kick your asses, and at that point, you've got a pissed-off pirate who just lost the one he loves... again.

Alora Greenleaf Poor Hook now Emma is the Dark one. Season 5 is going to be a ride.

Makenna Lynette He probably loves Emma more, so he'll be way more mad than before so imagine

[@victoriacrudup3477]

Ya know I really just love how everyone in the comments can debate on who is in the wrong here or are they both right and both wrong. Just goes to show how creative the writers were and I love discussing this show with everyone who has different opinions.

Stop acting like Regina was mother of the year. She tried to poision Emma and ended up poisoning Henry. parents lose custody for less everyday. Emma didnt raise him but Regina didnt adopt him legally either so technically they both are the parents

[@AnitquaRBD]

I love how Emma tell He's not he's mine to Regina. Truly mother

[@unbowedqueen]

Truly loser.

[@liyanengineer5956]

If u think about u would actually think that Snow White David and Emma r the bad guys

[@wickeddisney55]

I can't stand the anti-adoption rhetoric the show liked to push in the early seasons of the show, like listen to language they are saying, it's not Regina is unfit to be his mother it's that she ISN'T his mother which is factually untrue. Like if the argument was Regina isn't fit to be Henry's mom, I wouldn't have an issue with any of this, but they don't they keep hammering on about how Regina isn't his mom despite the fact that Regina NOT Emma raised him from when he was about a few months old. So, I guess it doesn't matter if you raised the kid since they were a baby, if you don't share blood you aren't their parent. Which what the actual fuck OUAT writers that is such a terrible lesson?! In another scene in season 2 (I don't remember which episode) where Regina is rightfully upset about not being told that Henry was being taken out of town despite being his legal guardian & the fact that people who cross the town line don't have their memories, they again reiterate that Regina is not his mom & that Emma is which is BS & so Emma doesn't need to get permission from Regina despite again being Henry's legal guardian. Also, Emma wanted a closed adoption & it was only because Henry found her that she entered his life, if Henry hadn't found her, she wouldn't have searched for him & probably would've forgotten about him. Don't come at me with "Regina cursed everybody so she deserves it" like again if the argument was Regina was UNFIT to be Henry's mom because of all the shit she did I would not have an issue with any of this, it's that they keep pushing the narrative Regina ISN'T his mom which is just false and anti-adoption rhetoric.

[@brianna4649]

Yes Henry is Emma’s son too but she had no right to say that at all. Regina raised that kid and she loved him that is and will always be her son. I’m glad they resolved everything and became allies.

[@LanceDiazzz]

I felt bad for Regina in this scene since she actually didn’t do it 😢

[@93King]

Lance Matthew Yeah I felt the same way when Mary Margaret was innocent and Regina was framing her.

[@melissaisloud7404]

Regina has always been Henry’s true mother. Emma gave him away. Regina was there for every moment.

[@bellang9967]

"And who you will always be"… Funny considering a couple months ago you didn't believe that, and you never really seem to stop and consider exactly who you're surrounded by, save a couple incidents :P

[@danasaskialyhsy1501]
