I'm playing Skyrim on PS3 and bought every property available in the hearthfire expansion. I have one fully decked out manor near Solitude and one south of DawnStar livable but according to General Stats (pause menu) I only own one house; the Than Breezehome house in Whiterun. I even got the Land Owner trophy for buying all properties. The Manor east of Solitude has bedrooms and all but I am not getting the dialog option when I speak with my adopted daughter to move to any property.
Is this common or fixable? How could I have a fully built manor, another with the small cottage setup and only have 1 home according to game stats?

According to the article on owned houses in Skyrim, the Hearthfire plots do not count towards the number of houses owned in the game statistics. This is probably because when you buy the property, it is technically not a house, just land. It is not listed as a bug, so it should be considered normal behavior. Whether this can be "fixed" or not on a gaming console depends on the software developers.
However, your basic question, "Why can't I move my children into a Hearthfire home?" is a duplicate. See this answer here. In particular, you need to build two children's beds and two children's chests, even when you only have one child, and you need extra beds for your house carl or steward. If you don't have enough beds in a particular player-built manor it won't appear as an option.
