In this ‘Glimpse Into’ series, Kimberley Rankin shares the key moments from her adoption journey that have shaped her life. Across nine heartfelt glimpses, she has spoken about her search for identity, the ache of the primal wound, the silent weight of grief, the complexities of reunion, the challenges of relationships, the transformative experience of motherhood, the longing for family and belonging, the voice of her wounded inner child, and lastly the discovery of connection and purpose.
