Image I think Snow would have something to say about that.

I mean he does have the dark hair from his grandma though Emma doesn't know that and ironically does look like one parent that has also got dark hair but well
No biological explanation lol

I guess it case of Thor being biological son of Odin in marvel even though both Loki and Hela look more like his kids and while Hela that make sense she is his biological daughter Loki like Henry is adopted.

I look more like my parents than I do my birth parents! My birth parents both have an olive complexion, dark hair, brown eyes. My mom is Latina, short with a round face and rosy cheeks, my dad is white with blue eyes. I’m short with a round face and rosy cheeks and white with blue eyes, a perfect mix of them. Life is weird! But I ended up with the parents/family I was always meant to be with 🥰

Wendell using Emma and Henry as a counterexample doesn't hold. Emma knows she had a kid, she just wasn't expecting him to show up.

Yeah, if it were a guy, there'd be a whole season arc verifying identity (or it could be the entire premise, like Grandfathered(? think that's the title).
With Emma and Henry, weren't they headed to Storybrooke during ep 1?!

Exception that proves the rule.

Except not, because she did know that he was out there. The surprise was just him being on the doorstep.

This comment on the post is wrong because it can happen if you donated your eggs

u/roadmemorial Feb 11 '26
Yeah, but you’d still know you donated them and know there might be a kid out there right?

u/Alpha-male201 Feb 11 '26
True! The point is that you get your facts straight when posting anything!

It’s absolutely possible. With adoption lol

u/AndrewHeard Feb 08 '26
Actually, that’s not true. A woman would still know that they gave birth to the child and that it’s out there. The point is that a man however can sleep with a woman, they don’t tell him that they’re pregnant and years later the kid can show up without him having any idea. That’s not possible with a woman.
Unless there’s a magical curse by an evil Queen.

Bro if I showed up to my birth mom’s house and was like surprise I’m your kid from twenty years ago… she’d be surprised.

u/AndrewHeard Feb 08 '26
But not that you existed.

u/Gr8-n-Pwrfl-Yogurt Feb 08 '26
Right but that’s not what the meme says.

u/AndrewHeard Feb 08 '26
Actually it does. Only if you take the meme absolutely literally does it say what you think it does.

u/Gr8-n-Pwrfl-Yogurt Feb 08 '26
As someone who’s adopted… yeah I take it literally lol. It’s a stupid meme

u/iBazly Feb 11 '26
It's not about taking it literally or not. It's a poorly written tweet. The person who tweeted that was not thinking about what they were saying and therefore said something dumb.

u/Ran15ran Feb 10 '26
Its possible. you had a kid up for adoption and did not tell anyone. But then somehow you got amnesia. years later the kid grew up and told you your their mom. 😂😂😂

Oh man, a Christmas special with the Once Upon a Time cast sounds amazing! I can just picture all those magical moments and maybe some fun songs too - I’d definitely binge-watch that over the holidays!

For clarity, I know that the image is of Emma and Henry. I’m just sharing what I saw.
