This doesn't just depend on the genes. A child may become attached to the person who cares for him, but the person who cares for him does not necessarily have to be the parent. This attachment is represented in the relationships of children and their adoptive parents. Children will become attached to the primary caregiver regardless of kinship if that caregiver is the source of protection and reassurance. This attachment may be generated by the release of tension achieved by the reassuring voice and touch of the primary caregiver and is unrelated to the child's biology. If the child does not receive this type of attention, he or she may become detached and be unable to form trusting bonds in later years. In conclusion, John Bowlby's attachment theory notes that a child will become attached to the primary caregiver based on the care the child receives from them (Berk, 2014). That attachment doesn't necessarily have to be the parent, but the person in the child's life who gives him the warmth and security he seeks. This bond may change as the child grows, but the need for security remains. In the event that a child does not have such a sense of security, he or she may suffer from maladaptive behaviors in the way he or she engages in social situations later in life (Tayler, C., 2015 pp
