My wife and I are adopting 2 children, I wasn’t aware of this. I knew about the credit but did not know that we could actually receive that much as a “refund”.

Well, here's the kicker:

But the tax law allows parents who adopt "special needs" children to receive the entire credit even if they had no expenses.

When we adopted in 97 we were hit with the alternative minimum tax.
