My children who had issues with violence were adopted at ages 8 and 9. They are now 17 and 18. 2 of the 3 remained at home, one lives in a transitional living facility. Our state does not allow disruption according to the attornies I've spoken with but does pay for out of home treatment. I'm glad I didn't have to disrupt. My children are boys but I know many parents with violent girls as well.
I would suggest you research attachment and bonding.
When looking at profiles, look for information on the number of moves, disrupted placements, why the child was moved and if you can talk to former parents, do.
Words like "energetic" can mean out of control and the word "charming" often redflags attachment.
