The amount of time Adalind had to bond with Diana was less than two weeks (she was "about ten days" old when they arrived in Portland, and they were there for no more than a couple of days before Nick's mom absconded with Diana). During that time they were running for their lives and everyone around her had some kind of ulterior motive. After Diana was taken, she was probably more fixated on the idea of Diana than anything else. Her goal was to get Diana back and then...???
OTOH, when Adalind was carrying Kelly, she was surrounded by people who were actually taking risks to protect her without ulterior motives, and after Kelly was born she was taken in by Nick, who promised her he'd try to find Diana, and more or less "adopted" as a friend by the rest of the scoobies, despite her past history as their enemy. IOW, an entirely new life was laid out before her, and it probably looked a whole lot better then having her powers and being alone in the world or having her powers and Diana and being on the run from the royals and the verrat ever had.
