That moment of their conception and even pregnancy is such a finite period in their existence that any negative feelings at that time don't colour every day of their lives. However Nick and Adalind raised these two, it's no doubt that they were sheltered (as best as a Grimm and Hexenbiest can) and loved.
The real issue is how many people that are "conceived out of love" can claim to still be loved after the challenges that life has thrown their parents? What matters is the here and now and not so much about the before. The past informs the present, it shouldn't hold it hostage because of past mistakes.
Mary: IMO women who have been assaulted have the right to choose to keep their children and love them and not have their children treated as second class people.

Yet many mothers are starting to speak out against the negative perceptions and stigma associated with children of rape. One of these mothers, Shauna Prewitt, claims that women are almost never consulted in media shaming of rape conception.
Even more noticeable is the growing voice of the children of rape themselves. The world’s attention was recently drawn to Valerie Gatto, a child of rape who competed for the title of Miss USA in June, 2014. She now works to educate young women about protecting themselves from sexual assault.
Without change to media and public perceptions, women will continue to face scrutiny over choosing to keep their children, and the children themselves will continue to be blamed and victimized.
