I'm with Lorraine. If it doesn't feel right to you, you might have to consider that the adoption of this child just isn't the right thing to do.

Lorraine is correct in saying that the abuse story may well be untrue. Most folks who have worked with older children thru adoption and foster care have dealt with lies that never end. Consider what you will do if you bring this child into your home and she claims that your husband or you abuse her. You could lose everything.
