N-600 Question

I'm 19 and my mother is a 100% American and my father is currently waiting for his citizenship papers to return. For some reason unknown to me my Mother decided to have me in Honduras (Where my father's from) but then immediately after I was born she brought me back to the US in transit without a Visa or getting checked out at all. I just found out about this a year or two ago and my family has been going insane trying to figure out why my mother never put my papers in. Like I said I'm 19 now so for whatever reasons my Mother never registered me or whatever are irrelevant and I'm trying to get my citizenship myself. My father has since moved down to Miami and I live in NY state and he contacted Centro Comunitario Hispano and they sent him the N-600 forms to send to me. I'm wondering will this work? It's incredibly difficult for me, I can't work (unless under the table) or drive (which i need to do to commute to school). The craziest thing is that I don't even consider myself spanish. I don't speak Spanish, I don't talk to my Spanish relatives, I know nobody from Honduras and I've been here my whole life. But ANYWAY would the N-600 forms work for me? I seem to fit all the requirements and have most of the prerequisites aside from not having a Visa or anything. Would they punish me for my parents bringing me here when I was a baby.

Also I'm very much in love with my g/f and we have talked about getting married, if N-600 forms wouldn't work would I be able to get citizenship by marrying her? And if I did put in papers would it take long for me to get some sort of Permanent Residence card or something to allow me to try to fend for myself in the world? I need help so if anyone could answer any of my questions I would be eternally grateful.

You should get US birth certificate for baby born outside the USA and you are US citizen. You should apply for this birth certificate.


ps. I might be wrong, but it's what I would do.
 
Thank you so much. I just looked at it and I'm eligible for Birth Abroad benefits meaning I can register my citizenship by applying for a passport and showing my birth certificate and my Mother's
