You can either get a co-sponsor for the application or if you live together for more than 6 months you may claim their assets to qualify. Or your parent may gift $150,000 to you so you can use your assets to qualify.

A U.S. citizen indeed may sponsor a spouse for adjustment of status, become divorced and re-married, and sponsor a second spouse for adjustment of status. In connection with the second adjustment of status case the USCIS can be expected to apply significant scrutiny to assure that BOTH marriages were bona fide. In connection with the second adjustment of status case, the U.S. citizen will need to file an Affidavit of Support for the second spouse, and will need to provide documentation of adequate income to meet the specifications on Form I-864 Poverty Guidelines for the applicable family size. The continuing obligations relating to the first spouse will require that the first spouse be included in calculating the applicable family size. If the U.S. citizen does not have sufficient documentable income, it will become necessary to have a joint sponsor in the adjustment of status application process. Generally the joint sponsor may be any U.S. citizen or Permanent Resident with sufficient documentable income who is willing to assume the responsibilities specified in the Affidavit of Support. Especially with issues as potentially complex as those mentioned in your question, it would be wise for you and your husband to work with an immigration attorney.

Giving birth to children in the U.S. does not create eligibility for immigration benefits, although generally when a U.S. citizen child reaches age 21 he/she will be able to sponsor a parent in an application to become a Permanent Resident. It would be wise to explore other potential avenues for the parent to seek immigration benefits.
