The quick answer is yes its due to past deeds. Now where it gets complicated is sometimes the deeds are the mothers, fathers or the child. Some parents are given "hellborn" childs because of past deeds as well. We are all born on this earth because of past deeds. Suffering..... i was given this example by my dad.... We suffer only because we put the thought that we will get something in return. When we don't get what we thought we think something wrong has happend. We go from happy to sad in a minute only because we kept a desire for something to happen and we didn't leave it up to Akal Purkh. If you think this didn't answer your question just say so... i'll see how else i can approach this.
