This study examined the formation and quality of attachment of 65 post-institutionalized (PI) toddlers with their parents at 1-3 and 7-9 months post adoption compared to 52 non-adopted (NA) children. The formation of attachment relationships of PI children with adoptive parents occurred relatively quickly. Children exposed to greater pre-adoption adversity took longer to form an attachment to their adoptive parents, although by 7-9 months post adoption, nearly all (90%) of the children achieved the highest level on an attachment formation rating scale. PI children did not differ from NA children in attachment security, based either on the Attachment Q-Sort or Strange Situation categorical scoring. However, the PI children were more likely to be disorganized in their attachment pattern. Pre-adoption adversity was related to lower Q-sort security scores especially at the initial assessment 1-3 months post adoption. The results indicated that attachment formation and attachment quality in PI children are differentiable constructs with different precursors.
