No, I was not able to do it. The Domain Admin group cannot have a member that is not part of the same domain.
It also cannot contain a group that could have a member that is not in the same domain. Now you can mimic the functionality by adding the user to the Enterprise Admins Group in the parent domain. Or by adding the user to the Builtin\Administrators group in the child domain.

Sorry to be so slow answering this -- I do not always have access to this setup.
