Your daughter may qualify as a derivative beneficiary of your husband's application for you in the Immediate Relative visa category, and that process does require a separate Adjustment of Status application for the child. For a process this important, especially where you are not thoroughly familiar with the legal requirements, it would be wise to work with an immigration attorney.
