My name is "Asokha Samanata," which comes from the Pali language. "Asokha" means "without sorrow," and "Samanata" means "having inner peace." My mother gave me this name so that I wouldn't live in suffering.
My presence in my mother's womb was unexpected, she never expected to be carrying a third child. And this made her and father worried about my future. My two older siblings lived with my mother and father in very difficult economic conditions, my mother felt unsure about providing me with good nutrition. Although initially rejected by my mother several times, but after several conversations with her mother and seeing the condition of her mother and father, I was finally accepted into a safe house.
Many might wonder or blame their parents for choosing to hand me over to an institution. If they hadn't been in their parents' shoes, it would be hard to understand. If they hadn't experienced poverty, they would certainly criticize and blame their parents.
My mother said that if I were in the foundation, at least my nutritional needs would be met and I wouldn't experience the difficulties my two older siblings had experienced. She also asked me to stop having children and to receive medical assistance so that I would be the last child. This suggestion was accepted by my mother, as she had never wanted any more children from the start.
Human life is diverse. Some want to have children and try various methods, including insemination, multiple IVF attempts, or traditional methods, all without success. However, many mothers are able to have children but are unprepared for the various challenges they face. We can't predict what life will bring, and if I were living with the MettaMamaMaggha family now, perhaps this would have been my path.
Welcome home dear Asokha….
Whatever the story behind Asokha's birth, Asokha will surely be provided for and loved by many online mothers, and by the midwives at the foundation. Asokha will have a Guardian Angel who will indirectly become her "PARENT," with love for Asokha coming from all directions.
