Sorry, but no. A gift to a child is no different from a gift to anyone, and is not tax deductible. Additionally, the gift to your adult child is not taxable income for him/her.
You should keep a record of the total you've gifted to your child, as there are (large) limits that would eventually require a gift tax return. But for now, you're a very generous parent. Good for you!
