Question

I just adopted 2 children. They were placed with us on 2/11/2020, and the adoption will finalized in approximately 6 months. Do I claim them as dependents now or 2021?

No, you will not claim them now when you are doing your 2019 taxes.  If they were placed in 2020 and the adoption won't be finalized until later this year, which is still going to be 2020, you will claim on your 2020 tax return, which you will file next year, 2021.
