definition of Special Needs

Does anyone know -- for this "Special Needs", who defines what special needs are.
Do older children in the domestic system qualify as "Special Needs"?
Also what about siblings? If they are both "Special Needs" is there one credit or two?

Thanks.

Mex - the person placing the children will know if they count as your state's definition of "Special Needs" or not. Usually, older children from foster care do qualify, with very few exceptions to that.

The credit is per special needs child. A sibling group of 2 special needs children would be two tax credits. A sibling group of 3 special needs children would be three tax credits, etc.
