We adopted a baby boy in 12/19/2018. However, due to holidays, we were not able to get court granted custody until 2019. Are we eligible for the 2018 Child Tax Credit?

 

Deductions & credits

Yes, if the adoption became final in 2018, you can claim the credit for 2018 even if you did not have physical custody of the child.
