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 & Baby K

    Happy Easter & An Update!

    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

    Two years!

    June 5, 2024

    We've had some people ask what is going on with the adoption! We are still waiting!

    Here is a recap of our timeline so far:

    June of 2022 - submitted our application to adopt
    August of 2023- completed our home study
    November of 2023- became an active waiting family with our agency

    As of right now there are 10 families waiting for a match.

    We are also in the process of renewing our home study (this has to be done on a yearly basis if the adoption has not yet taken place).

    So, as of this month, we have been on this adoption journey for two years. According to our social worker, many families have been waiting this long in all different agencies. There seems to be an ebb and flow kind of pattern, and lately agencies have been a bit slow. But it's alright! We know that when we receive a call that we've been matched, and we meet this little one, we will know exactly why the journey took as long as it did.

    We appreciate all the love and support and prayers as we continue to wait <3 And of course, when any updates happen, you all will know first!

    Love,
    John, Amanda, Rosie and Matthias

    Still waiting!

    February 28, 2024

    Hi All!

    I realize it's been a while since we posted an update.

    We are still waiting for our baby. Our agency has 17 (?) families waiting, and I believe 8 or 9 babies that are due in the next few months, so we just don't know when we will get that call.

    In the meantime, we have set up the nursery and continue to raise money for a final payment we will make once we are matched.

    Thank you for your prayers and for waiting right alongside us!!

    As soon as we hear something, YOU all will hear something.

    With love,
    John, Amanda, Rosie and Matthias
