In the first chapter of the book "Steve Jobs" the author Walter
Isaacson tells about the adoption of the future head of Apple
Corporation by Clara Hagopian and Paul Jobs.
"After the end of the World War II, Paul Jobs retired from the Coast
Guard and made bet with his fellow colleagues. Their ship was in
San-Francisco and Jobs made a bet there that he would find a wife
within only two weeks. He looked perfect, 180sm tall, with tattoos,
and resembled a popular actor James Dean. But Clara Hagopian, a nice
girl from a family of immigrants, was attracted not by his appearance.
Paul and his friends simply had a car, which Clara's company couldn't
brag about. They began to date and 10 days later, in March 1946,
Jobs married her. They lived a long and happy life together, until
death separated them," Walter Isaacson wrote in the first chapter of
the book published on Appleinsider.ru.
Clara Hagopian was born in New Jersey, her parents arrived there
"escaping from the massacres in the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish
Republic on the territory of Armenia," the author writes.
Walter Isaacson also writes that Clara had an ectopic pregnancy
and couldn't have children. "In 1955, 9 years after their marriage,
they decided to adopt a kid," the book reads.
"Since early childhood Steve Jobs knew that he was adopted. "My parents
never hid this from me," Steve remembers. He remembers a scene: he is
6 years old, sitting on a lawn near his house and tells a neighbor
girl about his adoption, "This means that your parents never wanted
you? - the girl asked then. "It was like an electric shock, - Steve
remembered. - I run away, tears flowed in streams from my eyes.
When my parents found out about it, they looked into my eyes and said
cutting each word: Not at all! You are special, this is why we have
adopted you," Walter Isaacson wrote.
He emphasizes that Steve Jobs didn't like when somebody called
Paul and Clara "adoptive." He himself always said they were his real
parents. "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,"
Walter Isaacson quotes Steve Jobs as saying.
Mediamax reports that according to www.geni.com, Clara Hagopian passed
away in 1986 in Santa-Clara, at the age of 62. Her husband Paul Jobs
died in 1993.
