They experienced being in a messed up family and maybe this is just what they both need to make and build their own family 10 times better than what they both went through. To not make the same mistakes their family made.
Yes...but why would anyone gamble a child's well being on that? I don't disagree that there is a chance the could end up being decent enough parents, but it would be far more logical to tilt the odds in the favor of the child by looking for partner who comes for a more nurturing background.
In reading your answer, I see what I fear, and that is this sentiment:
the very thing they need
In my estimation this is the sentiment that has created so many societal ills of late, parents who are placing what they feel is good for themselves above that which would be good for their children.
I don't doubt that both Adalind and Nick will continue to put love of self above that of their child, to their child's detriment; it is a hedonistic world out there, and in this case they are simply mirroring the trends in the culture...sadly as it may be.

You cannot hire other women to be a good mommy for someone else child. Adalind has been trying to be a better mother and she is trying to be more careful with men. That is why Renard was not happy about how she treated him in the bedroom.
I would not think hire, as much as marry. But if I was Nick I would look elsewhere for a mommy for my son. And if I was Adalind I would look elsewhere for a father to my children. Neither of them have much to recommend them as a partner. There are some 7 billion plus people on the planet, with roughly 3.5 billion plus of either gender. I don't think it would be too hard to find someone better than either of these two to build a family structure with.
Oxford commas are so totally rad!.
