RE: Adalind's Contract with Stefania...
 * Stefania talked about getting a higher price for her child if it were a Girl. So Adalind knew that Stefania was planning on selling her baby to the highest bidder.

It would depend upon whether Stefania was in fact paid her asking price, as to whether she was feeling betrayed by Adalind running off and violating the terms of the contract. If Stefania wasn't paid...then she very well may have issued a curse on Adalind. If she was paid...then she probably figures that it's the Royals' problem, not hers. I don't think we know whether Stefania was paid or not. This is one of the many little unanswered questions that we have been left with.
 * Therefore...the fact that Stefania sold the baby to the Royals does not negate the validity of the contract.
 * 'Gypsy Curses' are not to be taken lightly...even the non-magical world knows this. A gypsy curse lasts forever, and is usually upon an entire family bloodline.
 * A Gypsy Contract is enforced by the threat of Gypsy Curse...not any country's legal system.
