Adoption Tax Credit Qs

Just wondering if adopting domestically when you can claim you tax credit.
We were under the impression that you couldn't file until after the adoption was finalized. We paid all our fees to our Agency last June but we're still waiting to be matched therefore we ASSUMED we weren't supposed to file for the tax credit yet. Were we wrong? Should we have filed this year since we paid out the money in 2007? We're scared now that we've missed the boat!!

I asked this in the Adoption Finances section but didn't get any responses so just thought I'd ask here as well.

Thanks!
