Jillian Michaels Trying To Adopt From Africa ~ Celebrity Review

Jillian Michaels is gonna become a mommy!

The Biggest Loser trainer, who recently announced her decision to leave television to focus on starting a family, has revealed she’s planning to adopt a baby from Africa!

She told Access Hollywood, I want to start a family, I’d like to take a year off of television and really focus on, I’m in the middle of the adoption process, and really focus on that and hopefully becoming a mother in the next year and putting all my energy into that for a while. And then back to TV later in 2012.

I’ve completely all of my paperwork; I’ve had all my physicals; I’ve been check by the FBI, you have no idea! Now I wait for a referral. That could be anywhere from six months to a year. I’m in a pilot program for the Democratic Republic of Congo so we’ll see. Then you get your referral and then you have to try to bring your kid back home. So, it’s a process, but I’m excited for it!

Jillian was then asked whether she’d like a son or daughter.

I’m 36! she laughed. Do you hear the clock ticking? As long as there’s a little teeny person with me, I’ll be good.
