Long before 26-year-old Simone Biles was flipping, launching and spinning, she was living in foster care with her siblings, Adria, Tevin and Ashley.

Simone’s birth mother Shanon was dependent on alcohol and drugs, and unable to care for her four children.

“It was hard to give up my kids but I had to do what I had to, I wasn’t able to care for them,” Shanon tells the Daily Mail, adding the kid’s father – also an addict – was absent.

Speaking with CNN, Simone candidly speaks of her experience as a child and the “hardships” she experienced with her addict mom.

“When my siblings and I entered foster care, it was because our biological mom was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse. I was three years old,” she tells CNN.
Two decades later, she still has vivid memories of starving.

“I just remember, like, us as kids being so hungry and then I just remember this cat that would get fed and not like…us,” she shares in the clip. “And so we were taken and, thankfully, we actually got to stay in one foster home and we were all together…it was some of the best times ever. We were just so excited.”

Adding to that excitement were the frequent visits from her grandparents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, who adopted Simone (then six), and her little sister Adria, who is now 24.

I wanted to take care of Adria obviously because she was the baby,” Simone said on her Facebook Watch series, Simone vs.

Herself. “I just felt like I needed to look out for her because if family doesn’t look out for you, who’s going to?”
Their siblings Tevin and Ashley were adopted by Ronald’s sister and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.

Life changing rain day
And then, a rained-out school trip completely changed the course of Simone’s life.
