The instructions for Form 8839 for adoption expenses seem to anticipate the problem of not having enough information, including the SS#, in a failed adoption.
The specific instructions for Line 1 say that "If you cannot give complete information because you tried to adopt an eligible child but were unsuccessful..., complete the entries you can on Line 1." It then instructs you to put the name and address of the adoption agency or attorney on page 2 of Form 8839.
