Claiming Paternity. It’s Never Too Late – Look at Steve Jobs
Last week, Barbara Walters named Apple founder, Steve Jobs, “Most Fascinating Person of the Year”. His career success is one-of-a-kind. It is said that the only two things in Steve’s life were Apple and family. “He avoided making commitments to anything else because he knew that the commitment to something else would detract from his time at Apple or his time at home. And he simply was not going to do that. He cared so much about his family. And he cared so much about his company”, said Disney president and CEO Bob Iger. After Jobs death, I learned that his daughter Lisa Brennan-Jobs, was born without knowing her father. It wasn’t until later in her life that he acknowledged paternity. Once he did, she lived with him for a few years in her teens and he financially supported her education at Harvard. They became very close. Steve also had three other children.
This story is a hopeful one. There are many children in America that want more than anything to have a relationship with their father. Best case scenario, once paternity is proven, the father stands up like Steve Jobs and embraces his responsibility emotionally and financially. While most children won’t suddenly have a multi-millionaire for a father, we believe having someone to share special memories and provide financial and emotional support is a huge step in the right direction for the welfare of a child.
