    No one knows without more info about your stepfather and mother's financial circumstances. Once you were adopted, of course, they could claim exemptions for both of you. I don't understand how they adopted you to "get back" at your birth father. Your birth father had to sign to allow the adoption to take place. This was not done behind his back and he could have stopped it. By allowing you to be adopted he didn't have to pay child support.
