We are 4 Brothers and sisters, all currently living in the US. We are all citizens and have been here for over 30 years.

A US citizen Adult child can sponsor their foreign national parent for a green card, and then once the parent obtains their green card, then they could sponsor their spouse. Unless your mom married your stepfather before you reached the age of 18, then you cannot petition your stepfather directly.
