Can we go NOW?

This morning I had my first conversation with our two-year-old son about adoption. He had come with me to the post office to mail a packet and he saw me looking at paperwork, so he was asking questions.
Me: Do you know that some people have little brothers or sisters?
Noah: Yes.
Me: Do you want a little brother or sister?
Noah: Yes!
Me: Well, there are two ways to have a little brother or sister. God can grow a baby in Mommy's belly. Or we can adopt a child who doesn't have a mommy or daddy. God told us to go to a country called China and adopt a child.
Noah: Can we go NOW?
Me: Oh, Buddy, there's a lot more paperwork to do for the adoption, so it's going to be a long time until we can go. Do you understand?
Noah: Uh-huh
