"From what I was told, everything was very civilized," a source close to the photographer tells PEOPLE.
After Spears's unexpected release from UCLA Medical Center on Wednesday, "Britney called Adnan to meet her at the Beverly Hills Hotel. He had been talking with Lynne and Jamie for the past few days," says the source.
Spears and Ghalib had a brief meeting with lawyer Adam Streisand, who announced Thursday that he is off the case. The pair then met up with mom Lynne and dad Jamie.
Ghalib also confirmed in a posting on his photo agency's Web site that he "has been in contact with her parents."
"As the day unraveled, they have all agreed to get Britney safely back to her home so she can get the medical care and love that she deserves," says the posting on the FinalPixx site. "After spending most of the evening with The Spears [family] at The Summit, Adnan left and went back home at 2:30 a.m.... to give the family some alone time."
Lynne Spears left her daughter's home just after midnight Thursday , while dad Jamie remained there through Thursday morning.
