US Passport renewal while outside of the country

My daughter(5 yr old) and wife went to India for vacation. It was our fault we did not check the validity of the passport before they left. Her passport will expire in a month now. So what are our options:
1. Could they send the passport to me and I could apply it here?
2. Should I send an authorization form stating I don't have objection to get her passport renewed to my wife in India and they get it renewed in US Consulate in India?

Your time is greatly appreciated.
 
It is lllegal to mail passport

I am 99% sure that it is illegal to mail the passports. And also they know that the person outside US if they verify the passport. Better option is to go to US embassy in India.
