Sting Amroth

I'm very confused. I'm reading Unfinished Tales and I'm confused about exactly who Amroth's parents are.

Quote:
Amroth was King of Lorien, after his father Amdir was slain in the Battle of Dagorlad
Quote:
Celeborn and Galadriel came to be regarded as Lord and Lady of the Eldar in Eriador.......During their sojourn near Nenuial was born, at some time between the years 350 and 400, their son Amroth.
So who were Amroth's real parents? And why did Tolkien consider making Galadriel and Celeborn his parents and then seemingly disregarding this?
