Sure there are! People going though stressful times are much more likely to post here than those "livin' the dream". This is support forum and that is what most come here for. It is great that you are open to learning all the things that could happen and do happen to many older adopted kids. Be ready to parent him in the way that is neccessary...if you start attachment parenting in the beginning, many issues can be lessened. Hey, my kiddos are AD and we still have MANY good days, many good times. They are physically healthy and one day, they will be mentally healthy. I believe that. It's not an easy road - but it's one we are walking together.
On a side note - be sure that your case worker knows that your number one concern is your older DD. They need to place a child in your home who is safe around her. Keep an eye on her emotions as things progress. My oldest DS has paid a price in all this...
