Amber Benge

I’m a 28 year old country girl, born and raised in the south. Today, I make my home in a little bitty town in NC. I’m married to my high school sweetheart who also happens to be a pastor and we have two adorable (but rotten!) kids. We are in the process of adding to our family this year and will be traveling to Belize to adopt two babies soon! I started writing as a new mom who needed an outlet to avoid losing my mind in the sea of diapers, spit-up, and sleepless nights. You can read more about my story and our international adoption adventure at my blog
