I see no one has responded to this, so here's some info that may or may not help. I don't know much about that topic, but I can tell you how to get to the Adoption Credit section of the interview. If adoption doesn't pertain to you, it may be that you answered a question wrong or started the adoption interview by mistake.
Use this shortcut to get to the adoption questions. If the adoption interview had been started previously by mistake, it should take you to an adoption summary screen where you can delete it (trash can icon.)
ADDENDUM
In addition to the info I left you above, I found another adoption question in the interview. If you listed any dependents on your return, there is also an adoption question in the MY INFO section when you go through the dependent interview. After you enter the dependent info, on a subsequent screen titled "Less common situations" there are several check boxes about the dependent, and one of the check boxes asks if it pertains to an adopted child.
Still have questions?
