Yes, that's exactly right. You will be able to claim those expenses, but not until next year.
It's confusing, because if you had finalized that adoption, you could have claimed the expenses this year. The same expense, for the same thing, paid at the same time - but whether or not you finalize an adoption makes the difference on whether you can claim it this year or next year.
