Is a grandparent eligible for the adoption tax credit if he claims the parent as a dependent?

This past year I adopted a foster child. I have been going to school and living with my parents. My dad is claiming me as a dependent. Can he also qualify for the adoption tax credit because of our new son?

idon%26#039;t think so because he didn%26#039;t adopt the child. you did. Did he pay for the adoption fees? however your dad can claim your child as a qualifying child. That way he gets the child tax credit and another 3400 exemption.
