We have friends who adopted from Russia and were required by their agency to have any prospective child reviewed by a recommended American adoption specialist in addition to the profile that was created overseas. Because of the distance, the child is videotaped a number of times, interacting with care givers, other children etc. The adoption specialists job is to look for signs of potential issues, both physical and psychological.
I am certain that hiring your own "specialist" may not come cheaply or easily depending on where you live but given the saftey concerns for your daughter with any new children, these or any others, coming into your home, it may be prudent not to rely solely on information provided by state and local agencies.
