For U.S. adoption - you can claim the credit before finalization (or for a failed adoption) but you must wait one year after you incurred the expenses (so in your case, you had expenses in 2016 for adoption that has not finalized in 2017- you must wait to claim them on 2017 tax return).
Please select Adoption Credit and Adoption Assistance Programs link for details.
