IRS form 8839 is the one submitted for the Adoption Tax Credit. The form, and the instructions can be found at www.irs.gov

Applying for the Adoption Tax Credit can be simple or complicated depending on whether you had adoption assistance from an employer, and other factors. Also there are income limits for eligibility. Consider using a tax preparer for the tax year you submit the form. Below is an excerpt from IRS gov form 8839 instructions:

Qualified Adoption Expenses

Qualified adoption expenses are reasonable and necessary expenses directly related to, and for the principal purpose of, the legal adoption of an eligible child.
