we started our adoption process in 2021 and placement/finalization occurred in 2022. my spouse is tax exempt and I have filed previously as married filing separately. How can I ensure that I qualify for the adoption credit?

If you filed your return using the married filing separately filing status in the year the qualified adoption expenses are first allowable for the credit, you generally can't claim the credit or exclusion for those expenses. You may need to file an amended return to change to a qualifying filing status within the period of limitations (3 years),  

You can follow the instructions in this helpful link to amend your return:
