But here is a line of thought that might give you a new out look on Adalind. Yes Adalind got pregnant  and offer her baby up to get her powers back. But after Diana was born Adalind changed. But the next thing Adalind knows she is being flown to Portland to save Adalind and Diana lives. Adalind finds her and her baby at Nicks house. Now the group that has helped other wesen is offering to help you save your child. Only to end up losing your child anyway. You then go to these same people for help and they ignore you. That is a level of betral that would make anyone whant to do something bad to thses people. So when Adalind got the chance for payback you could say Adalind was justified. And Nick losing his Grimm was payback for Nick and his Mom taking Diana.

I could see this line of logic leading to the group feeling bad for what they did to Adalind and working out a away for Adalind to get away from the Royal and reunite with Diana after seeing the light and changing sides.

I doubt this, for several reasons.

First off, the reputation of Nick et al did not come into play at all during Adalinds brief alligence with the gang; she was only cooperating with them because it was the only chance she had to keep her baby. She has no reason to care about nicks pec hens for helping other wesen who, given her narcissism and arrogance, she would likly see as beneath her.

While revenge makes sense as a motivation, and desire for it might have been present, taking Nicks powers was motivated primarily by the desire to appease Victor in order to get her child back. You all saw how scared she was of Nick when Kelly took the blanket off. I doubt she would have risked it otherwise.

Finally, and I really think this bears repitition, there is no way in hell any of the gang will feel sorry for Adalind at this point. She has attacked or done ill to too many of them for them to forgive her long enough to take pity. If Monroe (who is not violent at heart and is one of the who has not been harmed by her) is put into a murderous rage upon seeing her, you just know that no one else is going to be any more merciful.

Continuing from that line of thought, there is also no way any of them will cooperate with Adalind. There are two reasons for this. First there is the bad blood between them, as stated above. Second is the fact that she has nothing at all to offer with regards to any of the groups aims. She has no contacts, is no more intelligent than any of the group (in fact she is demonstrably less so than some), is less powerful than Juliette (Adalind does not seem to be particularly powerful by hexenbiest standards), knows nothing they do not already know and is not as intimidating as Nick or Sean within the wesen world. With so little to offer, the risks of working with her would far outweigh any benifit of doing so, and would likly end with yet another betrayal.
