Hello,
If your children are U.S. citizens over 21 years of age, they can petition for a green card for you as you have been outside of the U.S. for 10 years.
However, there is missing information which is necessary to fully answer your question. I would suggest that you provide details of your criminal case and immigration history to an experienced immigration attorney (either in your local city or by telephone with an attorney anywhere in the U.S.) so that they can let you know of the chances of success with your new green card application, and any waiver that you may need. Good luck.
