is it okay to have my advisor write my transfer recommendation?

I would check with each respective school to see if they would accept this sort of recommendation. I don’t think it can “replace” a professor rec, though. I believe that most schools want evaluations from instructors who have taught you in an actual class because they want to know about your work ethic, academic potential, how you work with others, etc. You will definitely have to ask a professor/TA for a rec unfortunately.
