Angelina Jolie - Our favorite adoptive mom, Angelina Jolie, stated in an October Vanity Fair interview that she is not pregnant or adopting at this time. It's good to check in on these things. We just never know. Jolie and long-time partner, Brad Pitt, have six children together - three adopted and three birth.
Steve Jobs - I was fascinated to learn this week that former Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, was adopted. According to the New York Post, Abdulfattah John Jandali, a Syrian immigrant didn't know until a few years ago that the baby he and his ex-wife, Joanne Simpson placed for adoption was the CEO of Apple. Jandali states that he regrets placing his son for adoption and wanted to parent the child, but Simpson's father did not approve of their relationship back in the 1950's. So, Simpson traveled to San Fransisco to give birth and place the baby for adoption. Jobs, age 56, and Jandali, age 80, have never met - it's something that Jandali would welcome, but doesn't want to appear after Jobs' money and has no interest in trying to be his father. Jandali stated that he would just like to meet his son. Jobs has sought information about his birth family in the past and has met his sister, author, Mona Simpson.
