In 2016 we were in-process of adopting twins. We successfully adopted and finalized 1 of the 2 babies. All adoption fees were wrapped together for the twins as there was 1 total cost for this adoption (i.e. there's no distinction of what portion of the fees were associated with each child). Can we claim the adoption tax credit in 2016 for the finalized child and then the credit in 2017 for the failed one?
