Bobby and Nina’s Letter

Dear Expectant Mother,

We are Bobby and Nina Durning, and we are deeply honored that you are taking the time to read our letter and consider us as potential parents for your precious child. Your courage and selflessness in making this decision are profound, and we want you to know that we see and admire the incredible love you have for your baby.

We met in 2011 at a Christian college near Boston, where our shared faith in God became the cornerstone of our relationship. We married in 2015, envisioning a life filled with love, faith, and children. In 2020, after learning we couldn’t conceive biologically, we faced grief but were sustained by God’s faithfulness (2 Timothy 2:11-13). This led us to foster-to-adopt in 2021, welcoming children into our home and growing in love through each moment. When we moved to Dallas, Texas, the Lord surrounded us with a supportive community that has been instrumental in guiding us through our adoption journey. Adoption, to us, is a beautiful gift, allowing us to share Christ’s love while building our family.

Bobby serves as the Director of Membership at our church, fostering community and spiritual growth, while Nina coordinates a Bible Reading/Podcast program, helping others engage with Scripture. We plan for our baby to attend daycare three to four days a week, with Nina caring for them at home one to two days. We desire to raise our children to know Jesus as their Savior, grow in confidence through personal responsibility, and develop a love for learning, reading, and those around them.

During the week, we enjoy nature, park walks with our dog, Jerry, board games with friends, and family dinners filled with laughter and connection. In the evenings, Bobby practices bagpipes while Nina cooks and reads, and we always eat dinner as a family at the dining room table. Some of our most cherished memories have happened around the table. Together, we find enjoyment in watching movies together, traveling to new places, and participating in new experiences.

We want you to know that we hold you in the highest respect. Your decision reflects a sacrificial love that mirrors the heart of God, and we are in awe of your strength. If chosen, we promise to raise your child in a home filled with love, faith, and joy. We will honor you, keeping your story as a cherished part of their life if you wish, and we will dedicate ourselves to nurturing them in the truth of God’s love.

Thank you for considering us. We pray for you daily, for peace, strength, and clarity in this journey. It would be an immense privilege to partner with you in this sacred act of love.

With heartfelt admiration,
Bobby and Nina Durning
