Alright, I now understand you better.
I'll start by agreeing with @Henry and say Adalind showed signs of caring about Nick (not romantically of course) as soon as 5x02 (or earlier in 4x22 after hearing about Kelly's death). In S5, I think she as worried after the FBI paid him a visit. In S4 she's mollifying him, while early in S5, she trying to hold on to her Grimm buffer against any attacks that could endanger her son, whom she's now rather attracted to. They have a sexually charged moment in 5x02 just before Hank calls him with a case and breaks the awkward moment. She wasn't in love but she was attracted to him, as he was attracted to her.
Back to your argument where Adalind contacts Meisner regarding Diana, at the beginning of season 5, she was under the impression that the Royals had Diana. That is what Nick told her at the end of S4. The last thing Nick saw was Diana in a helicopter with king Frederick. As far as Adalind could surmise, Diana was completely out of her reach. She had no idea Meisner was ever present that night. As far as she was concerned he continued living his mercenary life, going from one mission to another. He never tried to stay in contact with her even though he helped deliver Diana so she couldn't have expected him to keep tabs on Diana. What is likely clear to Adalind is that Meisner was much more interested in Grimms since HW had been spying on Nick for months wanting to recruit him until his loss of powers threw them off. Once they discovered he was a Grimm again, they resumed their spying, which explained Meisner showing up at the loft looking for Trubel. At this stage, without knowing Meisner's involvement with Diana's last disappearance, her asking him to help her find Diana would have seemed odd. It's more about Adalind's ignorance of the truth rather than her unwillingness to find Diana at a time when she was still so dependent on Nick. She might have been more proactive/go over Nick's head to try and find Diana if Sean had informed her immediately about Meisner's role on the night Frederick died.
I said that Adalind leaving Nick for Diana this soon after moving into the loft in order to be with Diana would have been difficult for Adalind, not because she was in love. It was still too soon for that. Her hesitation would have come from taking Kelly away from Nick when she was appreciative of all Nick had done at that stage to ensure their safety. At this point they were partners and she would have almost been reneging on an unspoken deal. I'm not saying she wouldn't have left, just that it would have been difficult to do so without some residual negative feelings regarding taking Kelly away but she would have done it if the opportunity presented itself. Someone mentioned the difference between what the viewers know and what the characters know. We know that Meisner was the person to approach in order to find Diana, Sean knew this but Adalind did. I can't expect her to act/do certain things without having access to the relevant information.
By the time she hears Meisner was present on the night Diana went missing I'm assuming she didn't approach him but rather reluctantly went to Nick because at least he seemed to be on her side and would take her chances with him compared to Sean or Meisner probably due to their remaining silent about Diana's fate at the end of S4 when they had the opportunity to be upfront on more than one occasion. That's my reasoning at least. When Sean finally brought her to Diana, things had grown far more complicated because of the choice she was forced to make. She did get to have both of her children under the same roof, just not the roof she had originally planned (her own) or even hoped for at the end (the loft's, however it did work out).
What I find intriguing about this whole Nick, Meisner and the ware bouts of Diana is how the Nick haters blame him for helping his mother take Diana from Adalind after faking the Resistance Kidnapping of Diana. After Season 4 and the beginning of season 5, Meisner is the one that knows where Diana is being kept or at least, he knows who has her.
This includes when Meisner calls the phone that belonged to Chaves and Adalind answered and recognized his voice. Yet, none of these Meisner fans fault him for keeping it from Adalind and somehow, there is plenty of blame going to Nick.
