Arthur Schieble died in August 1955, after the adoption was finalized. Just after Christmas that year, Joanne and Abdulfattah were married in St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church in Green Bay. He got his PhD in international politics the next year, and then they had another child, a girl named Mona. After she and Jandali divorced in 1962, Joanne embarked on a dreamy and peripatetic life that her daughter, who grew up to become the acclaimed novelist Mona Simpson, would capture in her book Anywhere but Here. Because Steve's adoption had been closed, it would be twenty years before they would all find each other.
Arthur Schieble passed away in August 1955, right after the adoption of Steve Jobs was finalized. Shortly after Christmas of that same year, Joanne Schieble married Abdulfattah at St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church in Green Bay. The following year, he earned a PhD in international politics, and they welcomed a daughter named Mona into their family. However, after their divorce in 1962, Joanne lived a wandering and idealistic life that inspired her daughter, the novelist Mona Simpson, to write about it in her book "Anywhere but Here."
Due to the closed nature of Steve's adoption, it wasn't until two decades later that he was able to reconnect with his birth family. This separation highlights the complexities surrounding adoption and familial relationships, contributing to the intricate narrative of Steve Jobs's early life and identity as explored in Walter Isaacson's biography.
