Am I not allowed to claim a child that i took care of for 4 months of his 5 month life in 2022 as he was born in July of 2022. I could have taken care of him for 6 months or more as he was not alive for that long.

    In this thread you say the child began living with you in September.

    If you would explain more we can be more helpful to you.

     

    @Hal_Al    ?   Thoughts?

    And....we are still left wondering if you are related to him----are you a grandparent....aunt, uncle, etc. etc.?  Or are you unrelated to the child?
