Dependents

I am claiming my gf and her 2 kids as dependents this year as the gf went back to school and both kids qualify for me to do so. We also have a newborn who is forcing me to claim HOH as well. The question I have is, do I have to claim the kids as other or can I claim them as step children? There's a $1500 difference per kid of what we'd get back but as the gf had no income last year being she's back in school, she doesn't have anything to file this year. Thanks.
