Or perhaps he didn’t find Henry. Perhaps MS did and arranged for Gold to “procure” him…without Gold being aware of the arranger behind the curtain.
This is the idea I’m leaning towards now. Kitsis and Horowitz confirmed in that chat they did on Facebook the other day that Mr Gold only remembered when he heard Emma’s name. So there’s simply no way he could have consciously brought Snow and Charming’s grandson to town for Regina.
So this is the new theory I’ve cooked up…
Mother Superior, still with all her memories, kept tabs on Emma all through the 28 years. When MS became aware that Emma was about to have a child, MS wanted to ensure that that child was kept safe, and the best place for him would be right under her nose in Storybrooke. So at that time, MS somehow planted the seed for Regina wanting a child. Maybe she suggested that a child would bring something into her life that was lacking. So Regina went to Mr Gold, coz he was the go to guy in FTL when you wanted to deal in the baby trade. Then Mr Gold went to MS, who, as the head of the convent, would be most likely to know of any children in town who were in need of being adopted.
