Advise for Spanish-English bilingual family adopting a 9-year-old Russian girl

You didn't say how much research the prospective parents of the 9-year-old 
Russian child have done on the daunting challenges facing international 
adoptees and their adoptive parents.  If the prospective parents have not 
done much research, here are some places they might start:

At BUCLD 37 on 4 November 2012 , Audrey Delcenserie & Fred Genesee presented 
stunning data documenting the long-lasting language delays in Chinese 
children adopted between the ages of 7 and 24 months and reared in a 
monolingual French-speaking environment.

Inge-Marie Eigsti has also worked extensively on the language outcomes of 
internationally adopted children, and here is a link to one of her and her 
colleagues' papers:

Any of these individuals would have a great deal to contribute to anyone 
considering adoption.
