My daughter will be adopted offically in 2015, however for 2014 taxes she was still our foster daughter. Am I able to claim her has a dependant on my 2014 return?

Not if she was a foster child.  You need to wait until you finalize the adoption.

Watch for tax deductible expenses for adoption.  See the link: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/cmpltng/ddctns/lns300-350/313/menu-eng.html
