The residency requirements relate only to families living in the Philippines at the time of their adoption.
However, do be aware that both the U.S. and the Philippines have ratified the Hague Convention on intercountry adoption. ALL adoptions must comply not only with Philippine law, but with Hague requirements and U.S. immigration requirements. It sounds as if your attorney is not familiar with these requirements.
My advice to you is to find an immigration attorney who understands the Hague process.
