Because curiosity killed the cat. A person wants to know about his/her heratage, his history, if his father is also a lefty. My guess is you aren't adopted, we can't put ourselves into an adoptees shoes - the presence of our bio parents is something we've taken for granted for too long. I just hope that such a search is carried out responsably, with regard given to the feelings of the people "who were there when needed" etc... michab
