It will be interesting to learn why, when, and how Cora sent her to Oz. or, did someone else take her from Cora? was she a baby, or a young girl? Was she hidden away in Oz to hide her from Rumple, who wanted Cora’s firstborn daughter? Was she sent away because Cora chose power over her baby? Was Zelena a baby who didn’t feel the heartbreak of being sent away, or was she a sad confused scared young girl?
Yes these are some of the most important questions.
Personally, I think Cora “lost” the baby in the sense that it was swept up in a magical tornado, possibly caused by the baby’s father–the Wizard.
Loosing the baby is part of what made Cora the way she was.

I reckon Cora gave the baby up very soon (if not immediately) after giving birth to her, purely because she was too poor to look after a baby, and (say it with me folks) she wanted to give her her best chance. Then I think after Rumple had been teaching Zelena, but then decided to pass her over and turn his attentions to Regina instead, Zelena became a loose canon that he couldn’t afford to have in FTL lest she try to mess with his Curse plans and/or contact her sister and mother. So, much like he needed Cora out of the way and had her sent to WL, he sent Zelena to Oz.
Well, some things to think about: If Cora gave up Zelena before she met Henry & Rumple, she still had her heart at the time.
And it will be interesting to see whether that affected her decision with Rumple somehow.

What if Rumple didn’t actually select Regina over Zelena? What if he knew he would need BOTH sisters? What if he sent Zelena to Oz because he knew he would need her later, meaning now. As if he trained both sisters, one to use to cast the first curse, one to use later.
Perhaps he didn’t know the details, but he did know he needed Cora’s firstborn daughter. So, he sent Zelena someplace in the EF, trained her in magic, then sent her to Oz so he could use her later. or, maybe he trained her in Oz. I had the impression though that Rumple sent Jefferson to Oz because he couldn’t go there himself.
Rumple is my fav, and I hate thinking he’s at such a disadvantage. I want to believe he’s somewhat in control. I want to believe that he always has a plan B up his sleeve. Plan B = Zelena’s wrath, her madness.
At the risk of being too real world logic about this, I think the why of Cora giving up Zelena is pretty straightforward – dirt broke poverty.
who she gave baby Z to and how Z ended up in Oz (and green)… That is a far more interesting question!
rhanks te Cora question. I forgot about her faking her death with Hook before.
