Oh dear! You might like to suggest to your legal advisors that they read up on the British Nationality rules.

Children born abroad are expected to have ILR before registration, along with at least one of parents either having British citizenship or having applied for it and the other parent having ILR.

Your children don't qualify to apply for a British passport.
