She always does what's best for Adalind. If that means being friendly with Nick and his friends,  she'll  do that... for as long as it suits her. Don't forget that she actually *sold* Diana - I think that actually bonding with her daughter took her by surprise,  but being a doting mother would not have magically turned her into a good person. My thoughts exactly XD

She never wanted to keep her child in the first place... it was supposed from the very beginning to get sold to the royals. Hormones after she gave birth did their best to bond Adalind with her Babygirl, but she never truly intended to raise her. So her efforts to get her daughter back are a bit hypocretical...

I disagree that it is unnatural or hypocritical for Adalind to want to keep her daughter once she was born. The rules on adoption in the USA allow the birth mother a thirty day period to withdraw her approval after the baby's birth, regardless of any antenatal agreements that she has entered into, precisely because of the mother/child bond that forms at birth.
