Yes, if you still provide more than half their support.

To claim the credit, all the conditions must be met. Here is the test: 

·       Child must be younger than age 17 by December 31
·       Must by your child (biological, step, adopted or foster); brother or sister; niece, nephew or grandchild
·       Must provide half their support
·       Must be claimed as your dependent (see Qualifying Child Test)
·       Must be US Citizen, US National or Resident Alien
        Must live with you more than half the year
