@@DU85 I was raised by my mom & step family until age 9, their divorce. My mom made me think that they were my “real” family until the divorce.

I am adopted and i hit jackpot!! My parents are beyond amazing. I've always know right from toddler age. It didn't change anything for me. My parents had 5 kids of their own and we laugh they had to adopt me to get perfect (I've got severe health issues that make that statement laughable to everyone). My mate found out he was adopted just after he turned 50 and it ripped his world apart. 50 years of built up lies.
You don’t know you’re different until someone else tells you that you’re different. As long as you had a good life and a caring family. That’s all that matters. ❤
Her grandparents must be the most wonderful, special people. They certainly raised a bright,beautiful, kind soul in Simone and I know they must be so proud! ❤❤❤❤❤
My mom gave up my sister 8 yrs before having me. She found us when she was 21( legal age to find parents in WI. My dad and stepmom adopted two kids with disabilities and who only knew Spanish (from Ecuador). Now, they're adults. 😊
Love this piece! Simone’s ease with which she accepts and then shares her story is just another example of how strong she is. What an amazing role model for so many!
I’m a single grandmother raising a grandchild with a disability. It breaks my heart that he does not have parents. But by the grace of God may I keep healthy and be able to care for this boy as long as I can.
I don't know you, but, as someone who was raised by a family member, please know that you are a BLESSING to that young man and the world. Praying good health and longevity your way!
Her grand parents are just golden ! They must sleep happy and blessed knowing Simone and her siblings are living abundantly and living in his mighty glory ! 🙏🏾❤
Everything happens for a reason. One thing about a real family they step up when need be for family. People deal with a lot, and some can't handle the stress that comes with life and parenting. Thank GOD ❤️ for family.
@@helengreen6724her “father” is her biological mother’s father so she’s around. They explained what happened why her mom left them with their grandfather but I forgot.
@helengreen6724 so many grammatical errors, of course her " parents " are the parent of one of her parents. So the biological parents are still family and still around and probably always were.... you are trying to hint if they want to be around now because of her accomplishment, but in this case I think they have always been a part of her life.
It wasnt as if she were adopted by strangers and srpersted from her family. She was adopted by her grandparents.She was brought up knowing her extended family. It happens more than we may realize often times without the formalities of adoption. The grandparents did an excellent job with this young lady.
As an athlete, how can she be liberal knowing they are allowing men to compete in womens sports. I refuse to watch the Olympics after the mockery Paris has made of religious preferences. It's all disgusting
I don’t think people realize that there is a lot of kinship fostering and adoption in the US. A lot of people take in children of family members and close friends. There is a decent amount of kinship adoption in my family. They know who their bio parents are and they all have contact with them but some of my family members were just more equipped to give them a stable home life.
when people ask me if i’m scared to wait to start a family because of infertility i always mention that there’s always going to be children in my family that can use a present and healthy adult, parent or not.
Yes it is! In social welfare we are advised and taught to use kinship placement first. Until all those options are exhausted then we can move on to out of kinship placements! :)
This story makes this wonderful woman even more endearing to me. She seems kind, she's elegant, graceful, talented -gifted from God(YHWH), and Humble. Blessings and Hugs, Sweet Simone 🙏🤗💜
They filled her with true confidence and knowledge of who she is that’s why she’s so strong and he’s her biological grandfather so all is well and love and war and she’s awesome Just awesome👍🏽🔥🥰🙏🏽
You are so lucky to be adopted,because the people that adopted to you ,it was cause they already I loved you and they raised an incredible person and a great women .
Yeh he doesn't because she's a better athlete bu she needs lot of validation hence the necklace he has expressed she she's not his type he body muscles mass turns him off he wants to be number 1
Sadly. There have been many vids made here on youtube discussing her husband not being how he should be. Some have receipts about his lies. @@franciannecollson7427
As a Belizean, that’s who we are very unselfish and kind hearted. My mom raised a lot of the kids in our neighborhood, they all call her mama D ! Proud that Simone adopted mom is a Belizean ! She visits quite a bit for tranquility… 🎉
I saw the story just this week on RUclips. It's truly loving grandparents that took her and her siblings. And they has 2 cousins too that embraced them. It's truly a heart warming movie like story. God Bless them 🙏🏾❤🙌♥💖💕🙏🏾
her grandparents took in her and her younger sister, and their uncles became their brothers. Her older sister and brother were taken in by their great-aunt, and I think they still see them.
Same here 🙋🏽♀️ adopted by my aunt and uncle and I remember the drive home when I asked them what I should call them (I was six years old). I was legally adopted at age ten. My sisters were raised by our grandparents. It felt very normal to me and adults were always shocked at how unbothered I was about it. My life is/was great, we are all really close, and I am loved deeply❤.
Hearing this story of adoption is strange to me and, I guess, other Africans because we don't classify grandparents raising or fostering their grandchildren as an adoption arrangement. This is because the African child belongs to the extended family members and the community to an extent. My child's child is my child in essence, even though not directly mine biologically.
My mom adopted my sister and I when she was 1.5 and I was 3… we were both crack babies with some health issues but she loved and took us in anyway. I’m now almost 46 and my sister passed in 2019 at 39 and we both always loved our adoptive mother and thanked her for loving us and raising us into the women we turned out to be. She told us early on we were adopted and never kept our blood family information from us. As an adult I realized how difficult and conflicted she must have been but loved us so much decided to make sure we knew our blood history so we could make our own decisions about delving deeper into that subject. I’ve never felt anything but positive and inspired by my mom’s choice and am thankful to have had a great childhood and strong positive, Christian influence growing up and a wonderful grandmother to my children. I commend Simone for being so transparent and open about this subject. 😊
This means she had NO REASON TO FEEL LIKE SHE WAS UNWANTED! This means she was treated beautifully! This means the grandparents were amazing! I wish I could meet them bc there’s nothing on earth that makes me more content, relaxed, happy and ecstatic all around than to know and feel that children have a home, space, time, happiness, PEACE, CALM, and love! Be well and may GOD FOREVER BLESS YOUR PARENTS AND YOU!
Those jealous family members who told them that they were adopted definitely banked on her & her sister not feeling wanted; that's the only reason you would tell a kid that they're adopted. Family can be cruel as hell sometimes.
As someone adopted. She’s an amazing person for being so open about it. Wow. Love her even more. I wish more people adopted. It’s a cruel world we live in, where everyone needs half of themselves in another person to care about them and love them…..
I love this. My dad adopted me when I was 3 but he has been with my mom since I was 18 months. I’ve never known anyone but him as my dad. I think they told me in 5th grade and I was like ok. There were some rough teenage years because every teen has their issues, mine came from not being wanted by one and the other choice had attacked my mom. It sucked for a few years. But no matter what my dad was there, he loved me through all of it. At 49 (me), I could ask for a better dad, grandpa to my kids. I am blessed that my mom found him, that he found her, that she let him be my dad and that he chose to be my dad. I have 3 beautiful siblings that are nothing by my siblings, they aren’t half, they are my brothers and sister. And recently I found out I have 4 other siblings that completely believed how I came to be, what their dad did to my mom. He died. I’m left with my family I was raised with, including my dad, and 3 new brothers and a sister I love.
Beautiful story and I totally understand cuz my twin and I were adopted by our great aunt and uncle on our father’s side. They also asked us if we wanted to call them mama and daddy. We were so lucky they chose to adopt us.our mother died from childbirth. I know how grateful she is. You don’t feel any different because it’s all you know.
@@Rylinabeementioning race isn’t inherently negative but you definitely just made it that way. Maybe it’s time for a trip to your local library to unpack why it triggers you.
@@Rylinabee Race is brought up because they were talking about black people adopting others from their own family. Like Simone said, her parents are her grandparents. My own parents are my aunt and uncle. YOU made it a weird thing for whatever reason..
As an adopted kid coming from a loving home there are endless stupid questions that people ask implying you can’t be loved. Or even people who can’t wrap their brains around you never lived in an orphanage. Good for her grandparents for raising her always knowing she was loved and chosen.
From an adoptee yes i had a moment like that where the room stopped and it did stick with me somehow, its not easy having your first experience in life being given up even if it was for the right reasons and into an amazing family. Takes a lot of inner work and growth.
@@marquisstukes2376omg YOU just turned this into a racial thing… she is articulate and it’s refreshing to hear her speak. NOT because she’s black, but because so many people who are apart of our generation ARENT. Have you heard the Kardashians, or other well known people in her age group speak? They speak like teenagers, so yes. Simone is articulate and speaks well and it’s pleasant to listen to🤷🏽♀️. You should redirect this energy to someone who’s actually unfairly criticizing her, because there’s obviously a TON of people who are terrible to her, not someone paying her a genuine compliment just cause you don’t like it.
Thank you, and keep on inspiring people. My little sister introduced you to me, and i still can't forget hype and the smile i saw on her face. Your energy has touched little girls in Africa. The way they come together just to talk about what you did and still doing is so inspiring. Keep it up
Whether your grandparents are adopted you or not they're still your parents they're your parents' parents. I feel like you're so blessed that they didn't allow somebody else to adopt you that kept you in the family praise God for that.
this reminds me when i was a kid, i would ask the kids around me “what language does your grandparents speak?” cus mine only speak spanish and i thought everyone’s grandparents spoke a different language. they looked at me weird and said “English?” and my world shattered that day lmao
But a grandparent is not meant to take on a parental role. I feel it belittles all they have done to say they are grandparents. They are biologically her grandparents, but to be adopted they are her parents. This means round the clock 24/ 7 care, full financial and legal responsibility. Grandparents have no legal rights whatsoever.
But it is an adoption 🤷♀️ in a court room. This isn’t just her grandparents taking her on “to help”. This is her grandparents legally adopting her. Her birth certificate changed names of her parents. Don’t take that from them. Her legal parents did a fabulous job raising her. 👏🇺🇸
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GOAT!!! ONE OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE. I ENJOY HER STORY ON LIFETIME YRS AGO. IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE. SIMONE 💗IS A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING INSIDE AND OUT. MUCH LOVE❤AND GOD BLESS🙏🙏😇😇🙏🙏 YOU AND YOUR LOVEONES
I wanna shout out her adoptive mother who was actually her “step-grandmother”. As a stepmom myself, knowing the struggles, I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like at her age to adopt 2 little girls. And the fact that she did it and raised them with so much love and support. She deserves an Olympic medal as well.

Good on her grandparents for being straightforward from the beginning and giving her the stable family that she needed.
Yeah I and like 20 other family members still have to keep an adoption in the family secret. I feel like it forces us to be all liars which I hate.

Some Toothpaste manufacturer BETTER have Ms. Biles as a spokesperson! Her teeth are PERFECT! 😁
😂😂😂😂 I concur!!! 💯 They better! That smile deserves more recognition 😅
❤ Amazing family, her grandparents were open and honest so the children wouldn't be caught off guard. 🤗 Keep breaking records Much love from Philly
Shes so articulate very beautiful lady ❤
Stop using articulate w black ppl of course we speak and enunciate well!!!
@@marquisstukes2376some people express rhings better than others end of the story .stop malking it about race
Why wouldn't she articulate? 🤔
@@bluelight8664to be fair, that's not what articulate means
@@marquisstukes2376omg YOU just turned this into a racial thing… she is articulate and it’s refreshing to hear her speak. NOT because she’s black, but because so many people who are apart of our generation ARENT. Have you heard the Kardashians, or other well known people in her age group speak? They speak like teenagers, so yes. Simone is articulate and speaks well and it’s pleasant to listen to🤷🏽♀️. You should redirect this energy to someone who’s actually unfairly criticizing her, because there’s obviously a TON of people who are terrible to her, not someone paying her a genuine compliment just cause you don’t like it.
🙏 Yeah well "I'm loved". Adoption is loved.
God bless this young woman and her grandparents for taking care of her. ❤️🧡✝️🙏🏼💯🏆
Her smile is beautiful 🤩
What awholesome attitude Simone B
I wish more people would listen to your wisdom of acceptance at such a young age !!!
❤❤❤ 😊😊😊
This is adorable. She’s like aren’t you?❤❤❤
Thank you, and keep on inspiring people. My little sister introduced you to me, and i still can't forget hype and the smile i saw on her face. Your energy has touched little girls in Africa. The way they come together just to talk about what you did and still doing is so inspiring. Keep it up
God bless her grandparents! They have provided for her and now she is a super star. ❤❤❤❤
Love does not distance you❤ she is simple saying that she was loved❤️❤️❤️
Whether your grandparents are adopted you or not they're still your parents they're your parents' parents. I feel like you're so blessed that they didn't allow somebody else to adopt you that kept you in the family praise God for that.
They did an amazing job that she never even felt like anything was missing
Children are blunt... sometimes a bit cruel, but this is their best quality. They speak their minds

this reminds me when i was a kid, i would ask the kids around me “what language does your grandparents speak?” cus mine only speak spanish and i thought everyone’s grandparents spoke a different language. they looked at me weird and said “English?” and my world shattered that day lmao
😂
God bless this young woman and her family! 🙏🏾🫶🏾
Awww... She is well loved by her family. A strong lady!
The innocence in her eyes when she shared this story ❤.
That’s amazing the way she speaks you can tell
She had a fulfillment lifestyle
Simon and her sister are so beautiful. I wouldn’t even consider that adaption. They are their grandparents 😊
Yea, I think like this as well. Many people raised by grandma😂❤
Agree, my mother took care of my sister's kids when she passed away. They called her Mom.
But a grandparent is not meant to take on a parental role. I feel it belittles all they have done to say they are grandparents. They are biologically her grandparents, but to be adopted they are her parents. This means round the clock 24/ 7 care, full financial and legal responsibility. Grandparents have no legal rights whatsoever.
But it is an adoption 🤷♀️ in a court room. This isn’t just her grandparents taking her on “to help”. This is her grandparents legally adopting her. Her birth certificate changed names of her parents. Don’t take that from them. Her legal parents did a fabulous job raising her. 👏🇺🇸
So love her! I was adopted also and love her openness about it.
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GOAT!!! ONE OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE. I ENJOY HER STORY ON LIFETIME YRS AGO. IT WAS A GREAT MOVIE. SIMONE 💗IS A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING INSIDE AND OUT. MUCH LOVE❤AND GOD BLESS🙏🙏😇😇🙏🙏 YOU AND YOUR LOVEONES
I wanna shout out her adoptive mother who was actually her “step-grandmother”. As a stepmom myself, knowing the struggles, I can’t imagine what it must’ve been like at her age to adopt 2 little girls. And the fact that she did it and raised them with so much love and support. She deserves an Olympic medal as well.
Aren't you. Aww the innocence of a child. 🥰
I listened to this so many times Jus to hear the "Well yeah aren't you where'd you come from"😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
