are both of them in the States in a legal status?

Read up on Child Status Protection Act. There is a formula in it that allows you to calculate "immigration age" for a child, even if their real age is over 21.

Adjustment of status? They have to be in the US legally to be eligible for adjustment of status based on a sibling petition. Have they managed to maintain legal status for all of 12 years, or did they leave the US for some time and then reentered legally?

Your sister and niece in the US or outside? Where have they been living for the last 12 years?
