Simone Biles’ Biological Mother Admits She “Can’t Even Talk to Her” After Giving Daughter Up for Adoption
In a candid and emotional revelation, the biological mother of world-renowned gymnast Simone Biles, Shanon Biles, has admitted that she finds it difficult to communicate with her daughter after giving her up for adoption. This confession sheds light on the complex and often painful dynamics that can accompany adoption, even years after the fact.
Shanon Biles, who struggled with substance abuse during Simone’s early childhood, made the difficult decision to give up Simone and her siblings to foster care when she realized she couldn’t provide the stable environment they needed. Simone and her younger sister, Adria, were eventually adopted by their maternal grandfather, Ron Biles, and his wife, Nellie, who provided them with the love and support that enabled Simone to become one of the greatest gymnasts in history.
Despite the success and fame that Simone has achieved, Shanon admits that their relationship remains strained. “I can’t even talk to her,” she said in a recent interview. “It’s not easy. You don’t give up your child and think everything is going to be okay. There’s a lot of guilt, a lot of pain.”
Simone has previously spoken about her adoption, expressing gratitude towards her adoptive parents for the stability they provided. However, she has also acknowledged the emotional challenges that come with being adopted, particularly when it comes to reconciling feelings towards her biological mother.
Shanon’s confession highlights the deep emotional scars that can linger long after an adoption takes place, for both the biological parents and the children involved. While adoption can offer a child a better life, it also creates a complex web of emotions that can be difficult to navigate.
As Simone continues to dominate the world of gymnastics, the relationship with her biological mother remains a private and sensitive topic. Shanon’s admission serves as a reminder of the painful decisions that many parents must make and the lasting impact these decisions can have on their lives.
