60 minutes: Steve Jobs abandoned at birth because his birth mom choose adoption


 
 
 
 
 
 
  I was very  disappointed in the incorrect and negative language used on 60 minutes last night when talking about Steve Jobs. His birth mother and father did not "abandon" him. They made a loving and responsible adoption decision for him, putting his best interest first. 
He was not " put up for adoption" but his birth parents made an adoption plan. His " real parents" were Clara and Paul Jobs. They did a good job explaining that  to him when asked that  he was chosen.  
Too bad 60 minutes were so ignorant of adoption that they portrayed it that way. Birth mothers who choose life and make an adoption plan should not be denigrated but celebrated.

  1. Yes adoption is abandonment. Abandonment of family unity. Adoption is a permanent scar arising from a temporary lack of family support.
