I know it's only in S5 that the admit to Adalind being a good mother, much to their surprise. Remember they justified taking Diana away for everyone's protection not because Adalind was supposedly a terrible mother, although Kelly was the one who insisted Diana needed to be raised/guided in a particular way and thus be influenced to be good as opposed to evil. I'm not arguing Adalind's moral compass which was still dodgy at that stage.
I'm calling out Nick and his gang for why they didn't think taking and specifically KEEPING a child from her mother was wrong once it was safe and Adalind could have joined Kelly and Diana in whatever rock they hid under. Not once did they consider that until Nick lost his Grimm (his acknowledgement of why he was grimmless says as much) and later Juliette becoming a hexenbeist (both Nick and Rosalee admitting it was because of what they originally did to Adalind that was the cause). Basically before it all blows up in their faces, there's a lack of self awareness for their actions past the point of fooling Viktor. It's only when they start suffering its consequences that it's a blip on their radar.
This is why Adalind says to both Nick and Renard that she wasn't the only one responsible for the mess they all found themselves, her pregnant and Juliette a hexenbiest. Nick's guilt only kicked in after Juliette became a hexenbiest and actually promised Adalind at the end of S4 to never take her son away, before he's even born and long before he saw that she was in fact a good mother.
I'm all for the group trying to do the right thing with Diana when they hardly had options. I'm just not down with them continuing the deception unnecessarily and thus turning what should have been a good deed into something negative that ultimately doomed everyone concerned and innocent bystanders in the form of Nick's neighbors.
