As we all know Steve Jobs is an adopted son of Paul and Clara jobs. His biological parents are Joanne Simpson and Abdulfattah Jandali. Steve’s biological parents have him during their study and at that time they unable to take care of him and then they brought him to an orphanage house to be adopted. However, both Joanne and Abdulfatah got married after Steve had been adopted. Then, they had a daughter named Mona Simpson. However both of his biological parents got divorced when Mona was a baby. Jobs discovered the truth about his biological family when he was 27 years old.
Perhaps, because of he was an abandoned child, that make him did the same to his daughter Lisa. He refused to acknowledge Lisa as his daughter at first. Not only that, Steve Jobs swore in the court that he was unable to have children which is he is fertile. However, in my own opinion, he actually loves his daughter. This is because when Lisa was born an Apple computer was actually named the Apple Lisa computer. Jobs argued that it is not related anything with his daughter. He said that the name came from the short form of “Local Integrated Software Architecture.” However he finally accepts Lisa and started to build a good relationship.
I also think that, maybe Jobs refuse to accept his daughter because of his life history as he is an illegitimate child and neglected by his parents. Just imagine if we were in his situation, we ought to feel the same way. In this case, we take child abuse as an example; the children that have been the victims tend to abuse their children in the future as they feel depressed, trauma and also angry when they are treated that way. The same goes with Jobs’ situation. He maybe feel very disappointed when he found out who he really is and what actually happened to that make him placed for adoption.
