“My birth mother suffered from drug addiction, and when I was just 3 years old, my siblings and I were removed from her custody," she wrote in an op-ed for CNN last year."

Her grandparents adopted Simone and her siblings.

Grandparents, Nellie and Ron Biles, adopted Simone and her younger sister, and Biles-Thomas and another sister were adopted by Ron Biles’ sister. “From there, we bounced around until I was 6 and my grandparents made the brave move to adopt us," Simone explained.

Evidently, the girl is no stranger to family heartache.
