Hi!  We're the Peduzzi Family!  

It started with the two of us - Melissa and Ryan.  We got married in 2005, trusting Christ with our hearts and our love, knowing "We love because He first loved us." Our lives were full of school and ministry - together.

After school was finished and ministry was full time, we knew because of the extravagant love God had poured out on us to adopt us into His family, we had much love to give as well.   We knew He was calling us to care for the orphan by making them our sons and daughters. We searched the whole world over, and our son, Hudson, joined our family from Russia in 2012 through the blessing of adoption!

And with that, our family of two became a family of three, with lots of love to share.  Indeed, we love because He loved us first.  

So much love, in fact, that we knew God was calling us to grow our family again.  Hudson can't wait to be a big brother!

                                           
We are thrilled to share that our son or daughter is in Serbia, and we are doing everything we can to bring them home quickly.  We know we can't do this alone.  YOU are a vital part of their story.  Would you consider joining us in our pursuit of 100 Hearts of Hope?

"We love because HE first loved us." -1 John 4:19

Would you prayerfully consider giving a heart of hope?  Any donation will go straight to our agency towards the adoption, and is tax-deductible for you!  If you feel led to give:

1.  Each heart represents an amount you can give to our adoption fund.  

2.  Choose a heart (Feel free to select a favorite number, more than one, or go in with a friend!  No donation is too small - they are all a huge blessing!)

3.  Donate the corresponding amount through Pure Charity by clicking on the "Donate to this Fundraiser" button on the right or bottom.

4.  Be celebrated as a vital part of our adoption journey!

I will keep the hearts updated, showing which ones have already been sponsored.  We are hoping to fill up all the hearts!  Please share with your friends, Sunday School classes, family, neighbors... and let's BRING LOVE HOME!

We also invite you to join our journey through our blog: numberingourdays.com

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
