What I figured was that (for some reason) Adam took in an orphan Blake as his apprentice. Under him, she learned to fight, forged Gambol Shroud, grew up, etc. So if Blake spent that period of her life with Adam, I feel it's pretty natural they would be close. Adam strikes me as the gruff, but fatherly mentor figure; sort of like Al'Mualim (before we knew he was evil).
