“On September 6, 2006, Victoria Anne for some unknown reason chose to come early and unfortunately, did not survive. We must accept whatever is there and you accept unconditionally, that everything is beautiful. Every pain has purifying effect”. Rev. Run said in a statement issued by MTV on his behalf.

After a year of the tragic incident, the couple was able to recover and adopt their daughter Miley Simmons. While it was not easy for them they couldn’t hide the joy of having a baby even though she was not conceived by them.

“There are times that I forgot that I actually didn’t carry her, birth her. Miley is as much from my body as Victoria was, I want all women to know that if they can’t conceive, or carry a baby, adoption is truly a miracle. To be able a baby love, to be able to give a baby home, to be able to give a baby a good life – that’s the miracle”.
