In order to claim your kids they must live with you for more than 6 months out of the year. So, if they only lived with you for 3 months, then no, you would not be able to claim them as dependents.
Also, unless they have a SSN valid for employment, you would not be able to claim the Child Tax Credit, only the Other dependent credit.
