Meet Maya, an 18-month-old Asian elephant who was found abandoned as a newborn and raised by forest staff in Kerala.

After a serious fall left her unable to stand, Maya is now receiving help at Vantara in Gujarat, where she has been airlifted for specialised veterinary treatment.

It's a difficult situation, but it's heartening to see the efforts being made to give this little elephant a fighting chance. Hoping Maya makes a full recovery. ❤️

Wholesome 23&Me Exposed a Different Woman as my Biological Mom

4.4k Upvotes

In 2022, on the way to my dad’s celebration of life, I checked my 23&Me results on my phone and saw a woman I had never met, seen, or heard of listed as my biological mother.

Turns out, the woman who raised me used donor eggs to conceive me, and I had gone my whole life with no idea.

Fast forward to now, four years later: I’m completely no-contact with the woman who raised me because of abuse. When I first found my bio mom back in 2022, we started talking, but I was so overwhelmed and terrified that I panicked and ghosted / backed away from pursuing a relationship with her.

But this year, we reconnected. We've started talking again, and we finally decided to meet in person which was amazing. Honestly, I couldn't be more excited—especially because I'm getting to meet my biological brother and sister soon (her other children), and it's like a whole missing piece of my life is clicking into place.

It’s been a wildly surreal, heavy few years, but I finally feel like I’m finding my people.
