Has anyone had trouble aging townie children?

Maybe the game views the adopted brat as a townie, and townies can't age up townies. =p
Maybe so, but I always thought that adopting a kid was about the same thing as marrying a townie. Maybe there's some other crazy thing all together different that's borked with this kid. I guess I could see if other adopted kids will get the pop up or not. I have aged this kid through to adult and he didn't get the option with either birthdays. He finally married Marsha and I had to get the Broke kids to age her for me.

Aging townies up is foolish. Do you want only Elder townies in your neighborhood?!
I would image that new kids would be created once you remove one from the pool. Notownieregen might stop that though.
I haven't used the option yet, but what I plan to do is only age children that my sim has a relationship to. This way they can grow up together. I think it's a cute option and better than having your kids be friends with their great great grandparents friends. How creepy is that.

I've always imagined with each generation that the townie was the child or niece/nephew or granchild of the original townie, named after their relative. And that the older generation are friends with them as they are friends of the family. Helps lessen the creep factor - that way a sim doesn't get their first kiss with great-great-grandma's first love.

I didn't get the pop up box either for the children.

Having the same dang townies in a perpetual temporal rift is dull. I age mine, but not through the game, and in a more organized manner so that they are even. They die eventually like playables.
The only unfortunate thing is that I currently have a townie I really want to marry in the family, Bonnie Hendrickson. She frequents Dance! and has this long sort of bowl cut hair, bright red to contrast with the fact that she's black. As a teen, she wore this skin-tight leopard print number. Now, as an adult, she has that white jean, jacket, and leopard print tank top outfit. Both were just what she randomly spun into when she grew up. Unfortunately, though, she started making out with another townie at Dylan and Violet's wedding, and I've caught them at it a few times afterwards. She ages up to an elder in two rounds, too.
