[edit] Not adopted?
Valentin was not adopted by Elena anc Nicolae Ceausescu.
The guy looks very much like his father. I think that he may well be the result of an extra-marital affair that Ceaucescu had with some woman. Compare his photo with that of Ceaucescu and you will see that they look very much alike.
[edit] Adoption infirmed
In this interview, Valentin infirms having been adopted. Icar 18:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- OK, I saw that. On the other hand, on the same web site (at link provided just above), it is said that Valentin was adopted. Clearly, the topic is under debate -- by the way, we need to look more carefully at scholarly sources, relying just on this web site (how reputable is it?) does not seem enough. Is there a birth certificate for Valentin Ceauşescu that one can consult, and unequivocally decide the issue? In the meantime, perhaps the best solution is to present both theories (with quotations for both), and let the reader decide (or not decide -- which is also OK -- sometimes one must live with the fact that certain theories cannot be decided with 100% certainty.)

You are right, most versions should be mentioned; I would put nevertheless more weight on the non-adoption version. I have no access to his birth certificate (does usually the birth certificate mention adoption, if it happened? I am afraid not). So far, Valentin Ceausescu himself infirms the adoption rumor. The link I provided in fact just reproduces the interview from Evenimentul Zilei. Should we adopt his version in the absence of contradicting sources? Icar 13:48, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- A birth certificate would record the names of the (biological) parents, so it would settle the matter, I think. A declaration by Valentin Ceauşescu would be important, but not necessarily a completely deciding factor. The interview in EZ does not quote the conversation ad literam, nor does it reproduce the interview in toto, but simply says: "Nascut in 1948, fiul cel mare al familiei Ceausescu a mai demontat o legenda care circula, si anume ca ar fi fost adoptat de cuplul dictatorial: “Nu este adevarat”." How definitive is that? Turgidson 15:02, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wife and child
The article says his wife and child were expelled to Canada (when?) but I don't see any citations for that. I haven't been able to find any references elsewhere. — Athaenara ✉ 02:22, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
