No, hydrogen bonds are not (in general) an example of adhesion. Adhesion is a phenomenon that occurs between two originally separate entities in the solid state, if, when the two entities are pressed together, optionally with a third phase that need not necessarily be solid initially, the originally distinct solid entities cling to one another so that the new entity created by adhesion can be moved and otherwise manipulated by forces that act directly upon a part of the new solid entity that corresponds to only one of the original entities. Hydrogen bonding could, in principle, contribute to an adhesive interaction, but the two phenomena, hydrogen bonding and adhesion, are otherwise distinct and unrelated.
