Legally adopted? If so, they'll automatically become US citizens when the I-485 applications are approved: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/Intercountry-Adoption/adopt_ref/adoption-FAQs/child-citizenship-act-of-2000.html

you will need to present the following when applying for your child's U.S. passport:

• Proof of the child’s relationship to the U.S. citizen parent. For the biological child of a U.S. citizen, this generally will be a certified copy of the foreign birth certificate (and a translation if the birth certificate is not in English). For an adopted child, you must submit a certified copy of the final adoption decree (and a translation if the decree is not in English);
• Proof the child is admitted as a lawful permanent resident, such as the child’s foreign passport with a I-551 stamp, or the child's permanent resident card (green card);
• Proof of identity and citizenship of the U.S. citizen parent(s);
• Evidence the child is residing in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent;
• Completed Form DS-11 and supporting documents.

If their 485 is approved they will become automatic citizens in 2 year from today as I adopted them today. For adoptions inside America they need to be in my legal custody for 2 years and not just living with me.

Try for an extension, my husband is.... we filed for EAD April last year and I still haven’t got it, I’ll likely get my GC first 

Did you apply for Advanced Parole?  If so, did you get that yet?

I'm in the same boat.  I'm relying on the tax extension til October 15th to see me through the wait.  We only applied mid December.

Wait there's a tax extension this year??
