If you adopt a child you are generally allowed a maximum credit of $10000 for qualified adoption expenses, e.g. reasonable and necessary adoption fees, courts costs, attorney fees, etc. Obviously it can't be your spouse's child. The child has to be under 18 and has to be "physically or mentally incapable of caring for himself."
If you're making over $150K in gross income, bad news, the exception is gradually phased out from that amount.
