I have my first house in Whiterun, and I built a children's room there. I also have Lakeview Manor and built the children's beds and chests there too. Now I'm attempting to adopt, and the only home I can put a child in is the house in Whiterun. I would prefer to use my other home though. Is there a way to change which house they go in?

It's because when you built the house it didn't add to the number of houses you own. Meaning that, as far as the game goes, the house doesn't even exist. It is a bug. A very, very, VERY, ANNOYING bug. -__- There is no fix for it. You will have to load back before you built or purchased the land, until it shows in your game stats that you own another house. (Viewed from the pause menu) That is, if you see it that important for your spouse and kids to live at Lakeview Manor...
