Jillian Michaels could become a mom in 2012!
The Biggest Loser trainer made the choice to leave the show last year so she could focus on starting a family, and now Michales can finally confirm that she will soon welcome a baby girl!
Jillian revealed to Access Hollywood Live:
“I’ve been matched with a little girl, but, I now have to get her home… It could take up to a year to get her home.”
The fitness guru confessed that going through the process of trying to adopt a child from Haiti isn't easy, but after meeting the little girl while on a trip there, she knows it will be worth the wait.
“I’m actually so excited. The government shut down almost, [and] all I could think about was my 600A [immigration adoption] form ... So now I’m this much closer and all the paperwork is done. It just needs to go to the various embassies — it’s a godsend,” she said.
Congrats!

The tough-as-nails trainer for The Biggest Loser, Jillian Michaels has already announced she was leaving the hit show at the end of season 11 to start a family, and now it seems like the wheels are already in motion for her to adopt a child from Africa.
Of the complicated adoption process, Michaels said, “I’ve completed all of my paperwork; I’ve had all my physicals; I’ve been checked by the FBI – you have no idea!"

Michaels said that she's going to be taking the next year off to concentrate on her quest to become a mother. “I’d like to take a year off of television and really focus on ... that and hopefully becoming a mother in the next year and putting all my energy into that for awhile." But Jillian won't be taking a permanent vacation from the cameras, because she hopes to go "back to TV later in 2012.”
As for whether she'd prefer a boy or girl, Michaels said, "I’m 36! Do you hear the clock? It doesn’t matter!”
