There are two ways for her to immigrate: 1) by marrying abroad and having her apply for her green card in Romania; and 2) applying for a fiance visa, having her move to the U.S. adn then marry and apply for her green card within 90 days of arrival. Both methods take 9 to 18 months to complete - the difference being where she will be speding much of that time; here with you or there waitig for a green card. Her son will be eligible for the same immigration benefits she is. However, she will need to have full custody of the child, or the permission of the father.
We are currently handling a very similar case for another couple - the woman is from Romania with a child from a prior marriage.
