Tax question re: Failed Adoption

My tax guy can not find out where it states if we can claim legal fees on a failed adoption. I thought that we could, however now I am wondering if we can or not....does anyone know if fees can be claimed if the adoption was never finalized? The fees are from 2004, so I know if we can claim them, we need to this year...

He also asked me what a "special needs" child is according to the tax credit. I know what our county constitutes as special needs, but is there a criteria for a special needs child when it comes to the tax credit? I am asking since a special needs child changes what we can or can not claim w/ our children that we are currently adopting.

Thanks in advance for any help!!!
