Yes, definitely, if the person meets the requirements outlined by the IRS. You can find them in Chapter 3 of IRS Publication 17 (download at irs.gov) or in the instructions for 1040.
If a child is under 24 and a full-time student, and meets the other rules, then you can claim them.
If a person lives with you all year, you provide more than half of their total support, they don't make over $3300, and they aren't claimed by someone else, then you can claim them if they meet the rest of the rules. They don't even have to be related to you at all by blood or marriage. Close relatives (IRS has a list for this) do not necessarily have to live with you.
