A child born in a foreign country of alien parents, or adopted by alien
parents, may have become a United States citizen automatically after
birth, without having himself or herself applied for naturalization, if
one or both of his or her parents became naturalized before the child
reaches a certain age It must be noted that the law in effect at the
time of the parent's naturalization will determine if the child becomes
a citizen.

Currently, a child who is a lawful permanent resident, under 18 years of
age and unmarried may automatically derive citizenship of the United
States through the parents under certain conditions:

(1) a child whose parents are lawful permanent residents becomes a
United States citizen-on the date that the last parent is naturalized
before the child's 18th birthday;

(2) a child who has one of the natural parents already a citizen, and
the other natural parent becomes naturalized before the child's 18th
birthday;

(3) a child whose surviving parent, or the parent exercising legal
custody where the parents are legally separated or divorced, is
naturalized before the child's 18th birthday, regardless whether the
other parent was or is an alien; or

(4) an illegitimate child whose mother naturalizes before the child's
18th birthday and paternity has not been established.

No, because you were not a citizen at the time of her birth.

You will have to file I-130 and bring her to the US as a permanent resident. Once she is living with you as an LPR in the US, she becomes a citizen automatically. Then you just have to apply for her US passport and/or N-600 certificate.
