About Amber
THE UNDERPINNING (OR UNDER-PENNING)
Amber Haines, (In)courage blogger, Christmas Change Blog Editor, Deeper Story contributor, and !dea Camp Orphan-Care Blog Coordinator, has a degree in English/Creative Writing and has persevered through half an MFA in Poetry at The University Of Arkansas before birthing 3 boys in 3 years. There have been no signs pointing back to those workshops, so she feels perpetually unfinished, and yet the study is somehow better now.
Amber and her husband, Seth Haines (from the Mother Letter Project and Collective) entered the adoption process for a daughter from Ethiopia, and after much investment and prayer, they canceled the adoption to pursue a debt-free life, to provide freedom to go to Africa if that be God’s desire. Instead of bringing home their daughter, for now, they hope to provide ways for families to stay together. This has been the hardest thing Amber has ever done.
Amber is a Southerner and a straggler, so she writes about the long haul, heirloom mason jars in the basement, and a struggling yet growing faith.
