I don't think that is the norm. I just returned with a 6 yr old and know several families that have done the same. These kids are amazing. Are there issues? Yes, of course, and each one has different issues. Though there certainly are many wonderful older children available.
My daughter is an incredibly affectionate and sweet little girl. She is sympathetic, kind, smart, cute, adorable, atheltic, fun etc. After two months, from the outside she has seamlessly fit into her new family. On the inside, we are still working on how to live in a family - no yelling, backtalk, and learning that enough means enough.
She was happy in the orphanage, and was very sad about leaving Russia, mostly her friends. So we are also working through some issues there. Luckily some of her friends from Russia now live nearby. That helps alot.
If you have any specific questions. Feel free to PM.
