Randomizing children at hospitals would likely have big negative impact on society. On the long term, everyone would loose social cohesion because of the lack of bonds between brothers, nieces, whatever.

Families would lose every incentive to have a child in the first place, if it would be randomly switch to another (things like inheritance, family history and lineage comes in my mind). On the other hand, adoption would surely skyrocket.
