[quote=Anonymous]meant "covered up by adoption agencies". They really do not want to admit when kids have severe behavioral or mental health issues. You have to read descriptions like you would a real estate listing. Instead of "cozy" meaning "small" think "high energy" meaning ADHD, or "needs structure" meaning "behaviorally very difficult". Older child adoptions are difficult. When you miss that early infant bonding time and the child misses out on early infant security, it is extremely difficult---if not impossible---to overcome. You need to go into it understanding that you are providing a loving environment to someone who may never be able to bond to you or even consider you as anything other than a temporary caretaker until age 18.
