The clincher on using the tax credit for failed adoptions is...you have to wait a full year to claim anything you paid towards the adoption, application fees, home study fees, profile fees and travel expenses etc. Our failed adoption happened in Dec '07 and it was domestic. We'll claim all of our stuff this next year. They may even require a letter from the agency-don't quote me on that. But, when I asked our tax lady...she wanted a SS# at first, you shouldn't need that if the adoption never went through...plus, I'm not even sure how we'd get it in the first place.
