If your state determines that it's a special needs adoption, then you are eligible to claim the full adoption tax credit amount for the year that you finalize. Not all foster children are determined to have special needs according to the laws of your state. NACAC.org (I think) has a chart, but it's not really up to date. My state has just tightened the reins and my daughter (adopted in November) almost didn't qualify.
