This Is Steve Jobs's Biological Father, Abdulfattah John Jandali. He'd Like To Meet His Son




TheStar.com explains why he was not able to raise Jobs as his own:

Jandali and his girlfriend, Joanne Carole Schieble (later Simpson), met at the University of Wisconsin, where he was a professor and she was a student, according to previous press reports. They wanted to marry, but Simpson’s father wouldn’t let her marry a Syrian immigrant, Jandali said. Simpson left and when their son was born in 1955, she gave him up for adoption. A few months later her father died and she married Jandali.

“If we had just held off for a few months, then we would have been able to raise Steve as our own, but sadly, that was not the case,” Jandali said. “We often spoke of our son and how we both wished he was with us, especially when Joanne gave birth to Steve’s sister, Mona. But nothing to do with Joanne and I was ever meant to be.”

Jandali said he loved Simpson deeply. But after moving to Syria, the couple split up and Simpson returned to the United States with Mona. Joanne remarried and her daughter took her new husband’s name.
