Wales adoptees hope to break taboo of identity struggle
Mimi has struggled with her mental health in the past, but said talking to "people who understand what I'm going through" was a huge help and the podcast was an opportunity to "help other people".Mimi is a Welsh speaker who was born in Thailand and moved to Wales with her adoptive family when she was three
"When you look at me, I don't look Welsh. But I speak your language. It's really difficult to know where I belong, but I definitely feel like I belong in these groups."She said people think adopted people are "these 'challenged' children and they grow up to have no jobs and they don't do anything with their lives and that's really not the case".
The 22-year-old said the adopted people bounced off each other while recording the podcast and it made her feel "understood". Ruth expressed how important it was for adopted people to share experiences to "legitimise how they feel and to help them understand that they are not on their own".
