That does not sound right.
The Child Tax Credit is 2,000 per child. If all three children are eligible, that would be a credit of 6,000.
If that credit was not taken, you would get the "Additional Child Tax Credit" which is 1,600 per child.
So the difference would be 400 x 3 or 1,200.
Please look at your 1040 line 19 for the Child Tax Credit and line 28 for Additional Child Tax Credit.
The adoption credit is on Schedule 3 which is listed on the 1040 line 31.
