Struggling As A Kid, Simone Biles 12-Word Note For Adoptive Parents Hits The Internet After Paris Olympics Triumph….Read More

Simone Biles can never forget the contribution of her adoptive parents to her life.

Completing her redemption arc in Paris, the queen of gymnastics earned three gold and one silver medal. Reclaiming her throne as the all-around queen, the GOAT locket that Biles wore was a testament to her dominance in the sport. However, all this would not have been possible without two people—Nellie and Ronald Biles.

Originally Simone’s grandparents, they decided to adopt the gymnastics icon when she was 6 years old. And the change of atmosphere worked like magic. Coming out of the rugged foster care environment, baby Simone and her sister, Adria, were greeted with a friendly and caring environment. It was Nellie and Ronald’s love and support that propelled the career of Simone Biles to such a gargantuan extent. Looking back at her childhood, Biles feels extremely grateful to her parents.

Speaking with Hoda Kotb in a recent interview, the gymnast stated, “If not for my parents and adoption, I wouldn’t be here today.” Born in Columbus, Ohio, Simone Biles’ biological parents, Kelvin Clemons and Shanon Biles, could not give her a suitable home to grow up in. While Clemons left when Simone was still a toddler and has been absent since then, her biological mother, Shanon, struggled d*ug and alcohol abuse.
