Fred came home from University in tears. \u201cMum, am I adopted?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo of course not\u201d, replied his mother. Why would you think such a thing?<\/p>\n
Fred showed her his genealogy DNA test results. No match for any of his relatives, and strong matches for a family who lived the other side of the city.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was your idea in the first place\u201d her husband continued.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou remember, that first night in hospital when the baby did nothing but scream and cry and scream and cry.<\/p>\n
