Using the diabatic formalism, a rigorous generalization of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we study the effects of introducing simple meson-meson molecular potentials to an established diquark model for tetraquark states, and calculate mixed bound states composed of both diquark-antidiquark and meson-meson molecular components. We examine the behavior of properties of the states as one varies the parameters of the di-meson potential, and find that significant regions of parameter space occur in which one may produce mass eigenstates exactly matching the specific examples of χc1(3872) and χc0(3915). We also find regions in which a pure di-meson molecular state emerges, and study the same state properties in such cases.
