You can claim the child as a Qualifying Relative, as Other (not as step-child). See screenshot below.
There are two types of dependents, "Qualifying Children"(QC) and standard ("Qualifying Relative"). Only a QC qualifies a taxpayer for the Earned Income Credit
An unrelated person can still be a Qualifying relative dependent, if
1. he lived with the taxpayer ALL year and
2. His/her gross taxable income for the year must be less than $4,050 (2016-17) and
3. The taxpayer must have provided more than 1/2 his support
