Adoption not finalized

We are in the process of finalizing the adoption of our son who was born on August 22, 2022.  We have placement, and legal guardianship, but it has not been finalized with the courts and he does not yet have an SSN.  Do I still list him as our adopted son in TurboTax 2022?  Can I claim any of his living expenses?  I believe I have to wait until next year to claim adoption expenses, right?
