Our SW let us know that since the girls have been with us for over half a year we get to "claim" them for tax purposes.
I am 100% clueless about taxes but I am guessing it couldn't hurt. Now we are wondering if S can file as head of household. I just like how official it all sounds. It makes me feel like we really are a family :-)
Re: Bonus!
YAY!!! That is awesome! I have no suggestions since we each claim a kid (for tax purposes!) but good for you.
..oh, and you ARE a family - no matter what paperwork you have.
