I am almost positive that the fate of Elladan and Elrohir is not revealed to us in any of Tolkien's writings. I have never seen that Elrond's children must remain with him to remain immortal. It never actually says whether or not Elrond's children could make their own discussion as to which race they desired to belong to. I do not see any reason why they should not have been given the opportunity to choose for themselves.
