Steven Paul Jobs was born in San Francisco on 24
February 1955, to two university students, Joanne
Carole Schieble and Syrian born Abdulfattah "John"
Jandali ( Arabic: ﺡﺎﺘﻔﻟﺍﺪﺒﻋ ﻲﻟﺪﻨﺟ ), who were both
unmarried at the time. [22] Jandali who was teaching
in Wisconsin when Steve was born in 1955, said he
had no choice but to put the baby up for adoption
because his girlfriend's family objected to their
relationship. [23] He was adopted at birth by Paul
Reinhold Jobs (19221993) and Clara Jobs (1924
1986). Clara's maiden name was Hagopian. [24] When
asked about his "adoptive parents," Jobs replied
emphatically that Paul and Clara Jobs "were my
parents."
