I still can't get over how the writers wrote Adalind as being so concerned about her child when after she discovers she was pregnant smirked looking at the pregnancy test. I don't know, I think they made it work by showing her progression. I remember that scene where she was rubbing that potion onto her chest and she starts of happily singing Mama, only to suddenly get softer and more sombre as she carries on. I think that was the moment that she started to realise what she was doing.

I think her biggest weakness is her selfishness. She does think before she acts, she just doesn't care who gets hurt in the process as long as she gets what she wants. She only conceived Diana as a bargaining chip to get her powers back. Then as her pregnancy went along, she developed motherly instincts towards her child, which she should have done at the very beginning if she had any kind of conscience.

Even with this pregnancy with Kelly that she did not forsee, she was less than thrilled when Henrietta pointed it out to her and sought to protect herself by lying to Kenneth about who the father was (which backfired on her big time :D). As a last resort, she aligned herself with Nick who only helped her because she promised a cure for Juliette. He contines to help her now because he is a good person.

I don't truly believe that she has changed for the better. She has had a bad upbringing and she tries to do right by her children but her actions in the past are not easy to forget over 10 episodes.
