Huffman says, "It's a web magazine ... and it's been quite a wonderful experience. We have 26 contributors and they're Asian and Hispanic and African-American and adoptive parents and gay and lesbian. ... It's just a place, and it's really fun to come in and go, 'I hate this, this is really f---ing hard."
