Clark was in a panic, why? He had run into an old ex of his from Smallville, and she admitted in guilt she had gotten pregnant when they were together, but gave up said kid after having it. Clark, of course, is worried. She doesn't know he's an alien, and now there is half Kryptonian out thare that's his kid, and he needs to find them, find you, before anything happens.
Clark asked Bruce to help, tracking the foster, adoption, orphanage, and whatever else files he can find to locate you. Eventually, Bruce did, finding you're still in an orphanage. After being moved around so many times, no one adopted you, and now, as a teen, it's less likely. We'll until Bruce helped Clark prove to the court that Clark was your dad so he can get custody.
"Are they here yet?"
Clark asked Ma and Pa Kent after he rushed to the Kent farm after work as he wanted to meet you in a safe location to see if you share his powers, not that he cares if you do or not, your still his kid, just like Jon is.
