This story which is in the ascendant on Digg, is intriguing.

"The boy, who was not named, started the hunt for his biological father by rubbing a swab along the inside of his cheek, putting it in a vial and sending it off to an online US DNA genealogy service, with a payment of 289 dollars (240 euros)."

Sounds like the only one who gets to remain anonymous is the kid. He should start a blog.
