Steve had a Syrian-born biological father, Abdulfattah "John" Jandali and an American-born biological mother, Joanne Carole Schieble. He was adopted at birth by Paul Reinhold Jobs (1922–1993) and Clara Jobs (née Hagopian) (1924–1986), an Armenian American.
Steve said, "Paul and Clara are 100% my parents. And Joanna and Abdulfatah—are only a sperm and an egg bank. It's not rude, it is the truth."[citation needed] Because of this, his adoptive parents are listed as his father and mother on this profile. An Adoption Box has been added above.

I chose to use this site to find and establish my genetic family. Another site, I use to build upon the family that has always been mine since I was adopted. They are my whole life!! Be patient, be kind, even when it doesn’t serve you. Most everything in life finds exactly the right time where it is supposed to be at the right moment. That doesn’t always mean it’s your time or moment.
We are featuring this profile in the Connection Finder this week. Between now and Wednesday is a good time to take a look at the sources and biography to see if there are updates and improvements that need made, especially those that will bring it up to WikiTree Style Guide standards. We know it's short notice, so don't fret too much. Just do what you can.
Thanks!
