Get some specialist advice. There is such a thing as "one fails, all fail" for health and character requirements where if one family member (whether included on application or not) fails the tests, the whole family's application is refused.

HOWEVER, children aged 18 or over are not automatically "family members" - it depends on circumstances. An online forum won't be able to help you much more than this.

So you need to find a good migration agent familiar with these issues. Be warned - many (if not most) agents are not. Ask on the immigration forum for recommendations.
