Antoinette is described as a lovely young lady who enjoys shopping and listening to her favorite music. She can be very sweet and caring and is capable of demonstrating concern for others. Antoinette feels a special bond to her siblings, three of whom are younger and have already been adopted.

Antoinette is a typical teen in that she can "dig her heels in" and become defiant when asked to do something she doesn't want to do. She can use colorful language when frustrated and sometimes has difficulty with peer relationships or being disrespectful toward teachers and adult authority. Antoinette may exhibit significant tantrums and continues to need guidance in learning to express her feelings and frustrations appropriately.

Antoinette needs a patient, loving, and experienced family who can make a firm commitment. She needs a structured environment with clear and consistent guidelines, together with appropriate autonomy that encourages her to make positive choices as a young adult.
