Famous Celebrities You Had No Idea Were Adopted

Steve Jobs

Once upon a time, two parents gave up one of the smartest businessmen to an adopting couple. Steven Paul Jobs was born in 1955 to Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali. He was adopted as a baby by Clara and Paul Jobs. When Jobs was 27, he decided to search for his birth parents. He discovered that the Jandali family eventually was married and had a child together. He reportedly would get angry with people who referred to Paul and Clara as his "adoptive parents."
