Adalind is a women with a law degree who could easily find a job making six figures and with her Hexenbiest talents could possibly land her a job making half a million a year. I am pretty sure she could find a job that allowed her to bring Kelly and Diana to work. Also the fact that she has been practicing withcraft for her darn near entire life.To me, Adalind has always been needy, especially when needing protection. I think what the show failed to do was bring her full circle by allowing her to finally take charge of her life. Adalind could have gotten a job for the sake of much needed financial independence instead of the obviously contrived decision to go back to work at the exact moment Bonaparte/BC were ready to confront/threaten her. For that matter, Adalind could have gotten actively involved with HW’s research activities. She’s perfectly suited to help determine the scope of the embezzlement scheme in ‘Clear and Wesen Danger’. And Adalind working in a known Wesen law firm was the perfect opportunity to keep her eyes and ears peeled for useful intel.
I understand given the show budget and time restraint they wouldn't be able to really show this for Adalind with everything else going on but they need to drop the excessive needy behavior Adalind has for Nick. I miss Season 2,3,4(first half) Adalind storylines which focused on her outside of Nick.
Edited to add: I was really pleased that Adalind immediately challenged Nick that she wouldn’t give up her daughter.
Adalind hasn't always been needy. People have always needed her to do things. Renard needed her to do his dirty work in getting Aunt Marie out the picture and obtaining the keys. Same with Eric and Victor. Adalind worked hard to get her Hexenbiest powers back. Adalind was always fine being more hands on. People depended on her more in the beginning than she ever depended on them.

1. Why didn't the ritual give Adalind the same power it did Diana? I mean they went through the exact same ritual.
I’m probably the least fact knowledgeable person here, but I always assumed Stefania purposely performed the ritual to make the baby as powerful as possible. Her only deal with Adalind was her Hexenbiest in exchange for a Royal heir. I doubt the King had a problem procuring a blood heir, it was the immense powers that made the baby desirable.
2. When did her powers begin to show?
If you mean after the ritual - immediately following Diana’s birth.
I want to know a little bit more about her as a child Hexenbiest to compare her to Diana. We know she was home schooled. She most of been home schooled due to her hexenbiest nature given Catherine doesn't seem like the type of person to willing home school her child.
My understanding was that Adalind was home schooled in Hexenbiest, spell’s etc. Other than that, Adalind attended school. Also, I got the impression that Adalind wanted to avoid conversations with Nick that reminded him she was a Hexenbiest, and threw out home schooling while exiting the conversation.
Whatever happened to Diana while Adalind was pregnant happened to Adalind. They took the exact same potion. The potion was intended to give Adalind her powers back in exchange for her child. Nothing more.
The King didn't even know how powerful Diana was by time he wanted Diana. Diana hadn't even been showing powers yet and her strength wasn't really known until after her birth. The King wanted Diana before Adalind even gave birth. More than likely because Eric was Dead which mean he couldn't get another hier and Renard was banished. He himself is to old to conceive. With Royality you would want your succession to be you children or Grandchildren before anything else. Not your nephews, Cousins, Brothers, etc.
My understanding of Adalind stating she was home schooled was that she was home schooled. She never mentioned any other schooling.
