I am from the U.S. as well.  I met my wife in much the same way as you, she also has a daughter but she is only 17.  We were married in Oct. 2007.  When I returned I started trying to complete the process of getting her a visa, I finally gave up and got a lawyer, now it is looking like the spring of 2009 before they will come.  I have not looked into how long it would take if I had brought her here on a tourist visa and married in the U.S, but have often wondered.  I have been told that once my wife is here that is the end of all the paperwork, she will be issued a greencard pretty much on arrival.  As far as the adult child, I have no idea, my wife child has a separate application but it is connected with my wife's application. I can give you a list of forms that you will need to get filled out, if you would like.  Some of them need to be signed by your wife, I had to send them through the mail and have her send them back, that is time consuming. So that is about what I know, there is a lot of conflicting information out there and the government is no help at all.

Good luck to you, keep me informed as to how you make out.  I am heading for China in three days, for three weeks, then I'll go again in mid October.  I am in hopes that the trip after that they will return with me.  I hope this was of some help, if you have any other questions, I'll be happy to share what I know.
