There was no way at the time that Adalind could have protected her daughter; no way. That was why the group decided that Diana's best chance at a normal life was for Kelly to take the child and disappear. The Royals were coming to collect the baby the night the gang staged kidnapping; Sean knew this was the best alternative and Nick and the others were in agreement.
I wonder what could be the motivation behind deciding on such a radical plan if not to give Diana the best chance at a life apart from both powerful and competing groups. Renard always loved his daughter as far as I am concerned. He also saw the danger, so he went along with the attempt to fool the Royals into thinking Diana was kidnapped by the Resistance. That gave Kelly the chance at a clean escape. Including Adalind was out of the question because there was no time to make her part of the operation and she would probably represent an increased likelihood of the Royals tracking them down...

Given more time maybe a better option may have been thought of that Diana going with Kelly.
Exactly. This was one of those times when circumstances arose which required an immediate decision to act, with no time to consider all contingencies. Thanks for pointing that out.
