We did it once in 2010 and it's time to do it again.
ETA: See the 2011 interview pairs here!
How does it work?
The Interview Project is open to any blogger
- who writes at least occasionally about adoption,
- is interested in meeting a fellow writer with different views and experiences, and
- wants to welcome someone into their own online space.
