Parents passport copies are not requried for USCIS, If you want can send them. One more thing I will say add copy of marriage certificate with your Mom Petition. Just to provide everything...

Goodluck

Just to add, that if you have changed your family name since your birth (like when you gor married) you need to include a copy of the marriage certificate with each parents application.
