Reverend Run and wife Justine Simmons welcome Miley Justine

In better late than never news, Reverend Run, 43, and his wife Justine Simmons adopted an American-born baby girl in September, who they named Miley Justine Simmons.  Miley was one month old when they brought her home and will make her debut on the family's MTV reality series, Run's House, in January.

Run has three children from his first marriage (Vanessa, Angela and Joseph) and he and Justine have two boys together (Daniel and Russell).

The couple lost their first daughter Victoria Anne immediately after birth, when she was born 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.
