INTERVIEW:REV AND JUSTINE SIMMONS TALK ADOPTION AND DEATH
VIA CELEBRITY-BABIES.COM:
The couple lost their first daughter together, Victoria Anne, an hour after birth when she came into the world with a condition known as omphalocele.
Justine said,
People say, ‘You need to mourn,’ and you do, but only a little because the more you mourn, the more you want to mourn. I would have landed in depression.
The couple decided to adopt Miley — now 4 months — because, as Justine says,
I wanted a girl really bad, and I knew I wasn’t going to try again. That could have really messed me up.
The couple had been planning to adopt for a while. Back in March, she told Essence magazine
We take for granted that we can just have a baby. But I couldn’t. Maybe part of the reason God let this happen is because He wanted us to adopt.
Run added,
It’s heaven to have this baby come into our house at this time, at Christmas.
Rev and Justine have been married for 12 years. Rev has three children from his first marriage, Vanessa, 24, Angela, 20, and Joseph “JoJo,” 18, and two sons with Justine, Daniel “Diggy,” 12, and Russell “Russy,” 10.

Its so good to hear that they finally got the chance to spread their love to a needing child.

I wish ppl would think about adoption first instead of making it an option of last resort. That doesn’t look gracious or anything.

This does’nt compensate for the lost of their child but it does allow them to share their love as parents towards a child who needs them.
