In my opinion, the complete truth is "I don't know".
If you choose to continue, you can add something like "God will send my children to me, just like he sent you to your mom and dad, and I don't know when he/she/they will arrive". OR "Children arrive when they want to, and I'll be happy to see him/her/them whenever they get here".
Of course, I've been known to totally redirect the question, when I was not willing to discuss it (like in front of adults who don't know the situation). In that case, the answer that's worked best for me is "When I'm grown up. What do you want to do when you grow up?" Kids love to talk about themselves, so if you're willing to hear about nursing and being a fireman, that's a good redirect question. They'll ask again later because you didn't really answer them, but it works for the moment.
It's a hard question! {HUGS} to you!
