Before we jump to conclusions-----can you explain how or if the child is related to you? You are asking if you can claim "a child who doesn't live with me" but for whom you "provided full living expenses for 8 months...."
Are you the parent of this child? Or the boyfriend/girlfriend of the child's parent? A grandparent, step parent, aunt, uncle, brother or sister of the child---etc.? You have not told us.
