It’s clear that neither Regina nor Gold (who at the time was only his cursed self anyway) knew why, but Henry may well have been the only child who COULD have been shipped into SB, because his parents were from FTL. Emma, August, and Neal all could have entered SB (Neal apparently never did) at any time, and leave and come back just fine because they were uncursed but from FTL. Other people maybe not.
There’s that fate again, raising her ugly head. Someone or something made sure it was Henry who came to SB when Regina wanted a child.
I was 200% sure that it was Blue’s doing. Then they had to go and shatter the theory by saying that Mother Superior didn’t remember. GAH! 😡
Maybe it really just is straight up fate, and there wasn’t a need for any manipulation of the situation by anyone. Maybe it was just the same invisible force that drew FTL kids Emma and Nealfire together that also drew Henry and SB together. Maybe there was something built into the curse that was like a magnetic force to draw the Saviour in when she was meant to arrive, and that had a pull on Henry too, either because of his FTL origin genetics, or because he was actually a necessary tool to be used in pulling in the Saviour when the time came. Maybe this will drive me insane if we don’t get answers early on in season 3.
