Question Healthy and Normal children????

Hi, I am new to the board. We are considering fostering to adopt a young girl...between 3-5. We haven't decided for sure if fostering is the right choice yet, we have been to a meeting and we are considering it. I don't want to say this wrong...but for those who have adopted after fostering....a child in this range, are you happy? Can you find a child this age that is pretty normal, meaning fitted in well with your family (for we do have other kids), who just needed a good home? I know there will be emotional types of things, we can handle that but we can't handle a child that would severely disrupt our home with extreme behavior or serious issues. The safety and well being is most important with my other kids. But we would love to welcome a young girl who needs a loving home. Just wondering, if there are pretty normal kids in foster care. I am probably not phrasing it right. Also, do children in this age become available often or is mostly older? Thank you for your input. This is a big decision!
