John & Amanda Khanjian

are adopting a child from United States of America

Adoption is something we have carried in our hearts for a long time; even before being married.

Now, having spent time in prayer, conversation, and deep discernment, we believe God is calling us to open our hearts and home to a child in need of a family.

Many of you have asked us how you can help. Here are some ways that you can join us.

  1. Prayer This is the most important way that you can help us! The adoption process is long and at times, challenging. Your prayerful accompaniment would mean so much to us.

  2. Sharing Share our journey, and this page, with your family and friends.

  3. Fundraising Adoption can total over $50,000. While we are making great sacrifices to self-fund our adoption, we may need help meeting some of the financial obligations along the way. We are grateful for any gift you feel led to make. (Donations through our Adopt Together site are tax deductible, and can only be used for adoption related expenses with the oversight of “Adopt Together”)

Thank you for taking the time to join us on our journey. We are so grateful for each of you!

Love,

John, Mandie, Rosie, Matthias & Paulina

    Still Here

    May 28, 2026

    Hi everyone!

    We wanted to let you know that we are still here, still praying and still moving forward in our adoption journey.

    Right now, we are in the process of updating our home study and completing the next steps needed to remain active in the adoption process. While we may not share updates often, so much is still happening behind the scenes.

    We truly appreciate all the love, support, encouragement and prayers we have received throughout this journey. Please continue keeping our family - and our future child - in your prayers as we wait and trust in God's timing.

    We will continue to share updates as things progress!

    With love,
    John, Amanda, Rose, Matthias & Paulina

    Family update!

    November 30, 2025

    Hello everyone!

    We’re excited to share the joyful news that our daughter Paulina has arrived! She is healthy, sweet, and already so deeply loved. Rosie and Matthias absolutely adore her, and our hearts are so full.

    Because of agency guidelines, our adoption is on pause until Paulina turns one year old, and then we will continue our adoption journey just as planned.

    Thank you for your love, prayers, and generosity. We are so grateful for each of you and can’t wait to update you as we move forward.

    Wishing everyone a joyful holiday season 🎄❤️

    Love,
    John, Amanda, Rose, Matthias & Paulina

    April 19, 2025

    ……we’re expecting! We are due early November and are SO excited.

    Yes- we are still adopting! The process is simply paused until this baby turns 6 months old. We will pick up right where we left off and none of our progress will be lost.

    We are grateful to our incredible agency for their support along this journey and their excitement for us. And we are sooo thankful for each and every one of you who has been by our side since we started the adoption process almost 3 years ago!!

    We will continue to update you as our family grows!

    Highs & Lows

    July 31, 2024

    Hi everyone!

    Last week was a roller coaster.

    We received our first phone call that we were matched with a baby boy due in the Fall. A few days later, the match fell through for reasons outside of our control.

    We knew going into this process that there would be bumps along the way, but what we were not prepared for was that when you do get a match, you start to imagine the future and how this little one will fit into our hearts and home.

    Although we are disappointed, we trust that God sees the bigger picture and has great plans for us and for the baby He has in mind for us.

    We appreciate the support and the prayers along this journey and are grateful for each and every one of you!

    Love,
    Amanda & John
