Having never given up a child for adoption nor being adopted myself I certainly cannot agree or disagree with you categorically. However my contact with those how have been involved in such things has shown me that interest and involvement varies greatly depending on the people and what experiences they had.
edit what i replied to:
Considering he gave him up for adoption not sure why he would want to meet with him once he grew up. He is no more relevant than a stranger wanting to meet Jobs. And calling him his child is an insult to the parents that raised Steve Jobs.
Hope quoting a deleted message isn't against the rules, I didn't post the username as it appears they regret something about the post and deleted as is their right.

and for what its worth, Jobs did hire a personal investigator in the 80s to find his mother. That is how him and his sister originally met, if memory serves. It is most likely a personal matter that made him not want to contact his father.

Their is plenty of research that shows your genes have as much, or more to do with your success later in life then your parents. This is especially true as long as your parents meet the minimum standard of raising you.

There is plenty of research that shows that your environment has as much, or more to do with your success than your genes. Just look at kids in bad environments.
Steve's environment in this case was provided by his adoptive parents. The fact that they were willing to spend all their savings for Steve to go to a very expensive college tell us a lot about the type of environment that they wanted for their kid.
We will never know but I wonder if we would be talking about Jobs today had he not been raised by his adoptive parents.

It's odd though since the article seems to read as if Steve's mother was pressured to abandon him by her father but Steve's biological father didn't have a say in it.
Only later after the divorce they described Mr. Jandali as distant but that's no surprise after a divorce.
