You should have always included your son's name on all of your documents. If you need to learn how to bring your son to the US, you need to consult with an Immigration attorney.

Usually, a child should be included in the application from the very beginning of the case. However, I must hedge my answer because it is not clear what you mean when you say "visa is not available" to your son. If he is not in a legal status at this time, you should consult an immigration attorney before filing any papers.
