That's good to hear. It is a very hard and sometimes thankless job, motherhood. You came into it not at the beginning with time to know and adjust to each other, but after 5 years of pain and dis function have scarred the poor girl. Good for you for looking after her! Make sure you get some support as well, fostering an abused and abandoned 5-year-old is no easy job. Are there any parenting classes or other resources you could reach out to? You will never have all the answers, but they can help. Good luck!
