This will depend on your status and your relationship to the minor children.

You can petition for children, whether biological or adopted, to come to the United States. An adoption can only be effective if it occurs before the child's 16th birthday. Additionally, an adoption for immigration cases will generally not be recognized by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services unless the child is an orphan or abandoned.

The best course of action is an adoption.

The only way is if you are a parent and a US citizen.
