How long have these children been in your home? Bathroom issues are often a method of control. If that is the case, you can't stop it, you have to let her know that she is safe in your home and she will have to accept that. Once she feels safe, the bathroom issues should decrease.

My daughter was 6 years old when placed with us and she wore pullups. This is not all that uncommon with foster children. My guess would be that it is trauma and neglect based, not physical.
