Co-sleeping: Golden Road to Attachment or Path to Insecurity?

We recently adopted a 2-1/2 year old from China. We have read in much of the attachment literature that co-sleeping is a wonderful way to build attachment. Then I another doctor tells me that attachment is built during the day and that co-sleeping will foster night time insecurity in my child.

Did/will you co-sleep?
Is it a good idea or not-so-good?
Once you start, how long do you keep it up and how do you know when to transition to solo sleeping?
If you don't co-sleep, is it ok to do from time to time when your child is sick/afraid?
