"Even though she&amp;apos;s not whipping contestants into shape on national television, celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels is hard at work on a different kind of life-changing motive; having a child.\r\nBut don&amp;apos;t start looking for a bump, because the 37-year-old Biggest Loser alum is trying to adopt from the Congo.\r\n\r\nAfter announcing that she would be ending her contract with the NBC reality weight-loss series in December, Michaels explained her desire to start a family. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;m going to adopt,&amp;quot; she said in an interview last spring with Women&amp;apos;s Health magazine. &amp;quot;I can&amp;apos;t handle doing that to my body. Also, when you rescue something, it&amp;apos;s like rescuing a part of yourself.&amp;quot;\r\nPHOTOS: Incredible post-baby bodies\r\nSo how &amp;quot;far along&amp;quot; is the aspiring mom?\r\n&amp;quot;My dossier, which is your paperwork portfolio, is in to the Democratic Republic of the Congo,&amp;quot; Michaels told Us Weekly, Monday in NYC at the National Magazine Awards. &amp;quot;So the paperwork is done, and now it&amp;#x2019;s just a waiting game. It could be six months, twelve months; it could be two years. Or, it could be tomorrow! They call you and they say, &amp;apos;Oh, we have your referral,&amp;apos; which is essentially the child they match you up with, and you go overseas and you get him or her.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nIn the meantime, the tough-as-nails trainer will have plenty to keep her busy. She recently landed a multi-year deal to join the expert panel of TV&amp;apos;s syndicated series The Doctors, and &amp;quot;couldn&amp;apos;t be more excited.&amp;quot; She will appear alongside ER physician (and former contestant on The Bachelor!) Dr. Travis Stork; OB/GYN Dr. Lisa Masterson; cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Drew Ordon and pediatrician Dr. Jim Sears."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
