You would be claiming him as your qualifying child. The relationships listed in IRS Pub 501 that meet the test for a qualifying child include:
Relationship TestTo meet this test, a child must be:
-
Your son, daughter, stepchild, foster child, or a descendant (for example, your grandchild) of any of them, or
- Your brother, sister, half brother, half sister, stepbrother, stepsister, or a descendant (for example, your niece or nephew) of any of them.
