Tell him the truth. Tell him before he gets it from someone else. Go on-line to different websites for insightful information. Just type in explaining sex to children and go from there. They also will send you certain pamphlets. Good Luck! I know it was just yesterday you brought him home.

THIS WILL HELP!!!!!!

Talk to your children as soon as they bring up the topic, if you have the time to discuss the issue. If the timing or setting is inappropriate, tell him when you'll be able to talk to him about it, and stick to your promise.Tell him what he wants to know, without telling him too much - when he absorbeds the simple facts, then you can move on to the more complex issues.
Take him seriously. Don't laugh at him or make him feel silly for asking.Use correct terms.If your young child wants to know how the baby gets inside the mommy, explain the terms "sperm" and "egg," as well as "penis" and "vagina" if necessary, in the simplest way possible.Explain the concept of privacy. Many children will ask, "Can I watch?" when you explain the process of sexual intercourse to them; let them know this is something that mommies and daddies do in private when they love each other very much.Discuss the amount of time it takes for a baby to grow. Be as brief and straightforward as possible - if your little talk turns into a lecture, your kids may lose interest and stop listening.
Repeat yourself if necessary to be sure they understand what you're telling them.

Between the ages of 5 and 7, children become more aware of their gender. At this stage because children can pick up faulty information about sex and reproduction, it may be best to ask what your child knows about a particular topic before you start explaining it 9 year old i am positive knows a lot.
Openness, will show that sex is an acceptable topic of conversation. Teach your child that you are available to discuss sexual issues, and establish a comfort level — for both of you — with the topic.
Don't feel like you have to include everything in one big discussion. Teach him about your expectations and values but do not discuss what you and your husband do.

You answer his questions specifically with no expanding the answers. He wants specific facts not additional information. If he knows what a penis and vagina are then you explain the physical act of intercourse and how sperm and egg join. No need for information about the process of making love, the baby growing inside Mom or the birth. Just stick to the basic facts. Answer questions specifically and without embarrassement. You'll find when you answer specific questions, the discussion will be over until he has another question. Stick to specifics and nothing else.

Honesty is something a child does naturally. He has either seen or heard something that has triggered his thoughts. He already knows, he is looking for conformation. As a parent honesty is the best response. Now, the graphics should be kept to a minimum.

I would not push him away. Your an adult so you can talk very little, but ask a lot of questions to see what he knows. He may know more than you think and if he does, it's important to give him the proper health information and advice on life.

You don't need to give him the WHOLE story yet, just enough to satisfy his curiosity. He probably heard something at school and wants to know if its true. Start with the basics and go from there, he'll let you know if its too much information.

You need to tell him. Keep it simple. He does not need much information. You need to be able to talk with him about anything, otherwise, he will learn it from his peers, tv or who knows. Don't over react. Be prepared to answer his questions with simple answers. It is natural for him to wonder about such things and kids these days are getting info. at much younger ages. My daughter is almost 12 and I just returned from a weekend with her. We did the "Passport to Purity" by Dennis Rainey. You might want to check it out - the material is for girls or boys and it is excellent. Talk to your son - later you will want him to be talking to you!! :)

Just tell him about the basics, if you say to much he will ask more questions.
