I am currently looking for options on how I can sponsor my adoptee parents here in US. I am a green card holder. My husband sponsored my green card.
 

My biological mother left me and went to Canada after she had me and gave me to my aunt and uncle who does not have any children of their own other than me, I thought were my parents until high school they told me that my real mom was my aunt who was in Canada .   All my papers back home in philippines shows that they are my parents. Until my biological mom offered me to try to know her and sponsored me to Canada. I agreed because I want to help my adoptee parents( uncle/aunt) financially and give them good life too. My biological mom and I never got along so I decided to move to US when my husband decided to start our family here. 
When I file for my green card application I put my biological mom as my parent. I am not sure if my adoption in philippines was legal.

My question is- Can I sponsor my adoptee parents- aunt/uncle here in US? Someone please help me and show me the right steps so I can give back to my adoptee the love and care they gave me when I was growing up. They are in their mid 60s I want to them to experience life here and I want to be close to them .

I think you would need to establish your adoption by your aunt and uncle was legal to be able to petition for them, but as @Mundo254 pointed out, you did not list them on your I485, so this may pose issues.

 

Good Luck!

You have major problems.  

A.  You didn't list them as your parents on your immigration paperwork.

 

B.  You need to be able to prove that they legally adopted you before age 16 according to local laws.  It can't be just registering you as their child on your birth certificate.

Something does not add up, who was on your Birth Certificate, that would have been used for Canadian and US Immigration, how was your Mother able to sponsor you to move to Canada?

 

Were you adopted legally or was this an informal affair.

No way to sponsor an Aunt and Uncle

Unless there is a legally recognized adoption, there really isn't a way as far as I know.  There are no visa categories for aunts and uncles or cousins.
