I find this interesting. I have two bio sons and my daughter was adopted at age 6 from foster care. She has attachment disorder. As a result I have learned tons about facilitating attachment. I realize that doing attachment work with a school age child is different, but I would like to try to answer your question.
Since I have an attachment disordered daughter, I now know how vital early interaction is. So, while I did all those attachment things with my biological children, I wasn't aware that I was doing them. Thats just what a mom does. With my daughter, on the other hand, the thought of the attachment process is always on my mind. And I think that would be the case for me if I adopted an infant now.
So - the activites would be same, but I would be different. Does that make sense? In fact, I probably would do more attachment work with an adopted baby just because I know what a devasting thing attachment disorder is.
