The episode Save Henry explains how Regina was able to legally adopt him...but I posed my question to not talk directly about Regina from Once I was wonderin if anyone saw the similarities of Adalind to Regina. Yeah....no manipulation by Regina. Like, at all. It was all the evil (?) machinations of dear Rumpels to get Emma to come to town. And really, it was just being selective about which child he'd have brought in.

And yes, we see the similarities. Wicked witch queen, daughter of far wickeder bitch queen. And so on, and so on.
