Fantroy, who is single and also has a biological child, says she likes the challenge of raising teenagers: "There's just a small window of opportunity in which to cram all the values of good family life." So far, she seems to be succeeding; all her kids who are in school are honors students. One negative of adopting a teen, says Fantroy, is the expense--car insurance, clothing, social activities.
