I filed Head of Household (like FireSprite already mentioned), claimed both children...and just didn't claim my AW as a dependent.
It lowered the return by about $500, but it left my AW with the responsibility of filing her own claim. If I'd of claimed her as a dependent, she may have come back later and tried to contest it just to be a hassle...so not claiming her - set her free, so to speak.
