However, the pain and anguishment that my wife and I have been through is enormous. With that being said I would like to address those who may have a similar situation by saying that YES you can claim this credit. I have the IRS check to prove it. If you are in this situation and would like to know more please respond to this thread. I will be happy to help you with the specifics.

Thank you for writing this info. We just barely had a failed adoption and are heartbroken. We went to another state and were there for the birth--but the birthmom changed her mind before time to sign. We've lost over $8,000. She was never placed in our home, though. Can we still claim a credit? Can someone help us. Thanks.
