Lovely Mallick, the mother of formerly conjoined twins Trishna and Krishna, has again appealed to the non-government organisations (NGOs), including the Children First Foundation, to give her an opportunity to go to Australia to see her daughters.
The Children First Foundation took the twin toddlers to Australia two years ago and arranged the separation surgery recently. The twins now continue their recovery from the marathon surgery at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne.
"I have been passing each and every moment in great excitement since my conjoined daughters were separated by a complicated surgery," Lovely told this correspondent yesterday.
Lovely, 23, who gave birth to the conjoined twins on December 22 in 2006 at a clinic in Khulna city, handed over them to an orphanage in Dhaka because she and her husband Kartik Mallick were unable to care for their special needs.
Lovely and Kartik also gave an undertaking that they would not claim their daughters back.
"I do not want to claim my daughters back, but my fervent appeal to any NGOs and the Children First Foundation to take me and my husband to Melbourne to see my loving daughters," she said.
"We want them to live in good health and happiness. But let there be a good relationship between the girls and their parents," said Kartik.
