Got it. So you really need to claim the adoption expenses now and subtract out the reimbursement received on Part III line 17 even though it was a different year. The IRS can easily understand you did not take the full credit due to the reimbursement.
The instructions for line 18 indicate to include prior year employer contributions but yours was after the fact.
