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.Would add the time frame needs to thought of, the verrat are at Sean's door step in hours of Adalind and Diana arrival in Portland. Viktor shows up and threatens everyone in short order. So how much planning could be done to save Adalind, Sean, and Elizabeth? Given more time maybe a better option may have been thought of that Diana going with Kelly.
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.
As to Kelly's right to intercede on behalf a child she believed was in danger, I offer the following. The baby playing with Kelly's necklace (with Nick's picture inside), and the way Kelly took to her are two examples. The baby's ceasing to cry when Kelly walked into the room at Monroe's house is another. The things she said about Diana demonstrated her concern for Diana's well-being and safety told me that she loved the child, no doubt.
I realize that no one's opinion of the event will change, so I respectively state that as much as I believe in my interpretation, I also know there's no authority that can say I am right
