we are in the same boat. It is so wrong that a child can not be claimed to due to ineptness of dhs/foster care doing their jobs....granted they are likely over worked and overwhelmed with similar cases but the federal government should not penalize people who are taking these kids in and rightly should be give child tax credit/ earned income credits etc because the courts/dhs/foster care have failed them. this needs to be fixed by the federal government to allow these credits either by amending the return or filing late if taxes are not owed to allow the use of the credits.....
