You will need a letter from the foster care agency showing that you were the foster parent and that the children were in your home the full year. Your social worker should be able to provide this for you.
There is also generally a case document assigning them to you which you may use as a supporting document.
Because your return has to be mailed and there is a dispute, it may take 4-6 months to process your refund.
