Thanks for some good news this morning! It's wonderful that the Grady's have given Stan a home. Kudos to them for so carefully considering this adoption, and for coming to the conclusion that Stan was their choice. The best of luck to all of them! Todd Frankel, thanks for such a well-written piece. I hope you will write a follow-up to tell us how well Stan is doing in his forever home.
