An impromptu party at O'Hare

Yesterday I was in Chicago on my last business trip before China. At the airport bar I had a little celebration. I asked the surly, overweight bartender if she could make a good martini and she said "yeah but it'll be in a plastic cup." Perfect I told her. I said it was a celebratory drink and she asked me why and I said because the day after tomorrow I'm going to China to adopt a little girl. The bartender's eyes lit up and she said "isn't that the coolest thing" and poured what seemed to me to be an extra long pour into the shaker. The bar was really crowded, typical airport bar that sticks out into the gate area and everyone around heard our exchange.
She gave me the martini and it was really good. I was celebrating all the hard work we've put in over the last 5 years trying to start a family and finally reaching the finish line I told her. I was also celebrating being off work for nearly a month to concentrate solely on learning how to be a dad and have a family.
The bartender was asking me a bunch of questions while simultaneously taking drink orders and checking every one's ID. A guy 4 stools away said "I was adopted!" "Very cool" I said. I didn't know what else to say. He said he was visiting Chicago from So. Cal. to visit his daughter. I didn't really want to know anymore details that he seemed eager to share and thankfully the lady sitting next to me asked me where in China we were going. Her and I had a nice talk. She was about my age, maybe a few years older and said her and her husband decided to not have kids but devote themselves to their friends and family's kids. She said Sadie was lucky and we were doing a great thing. The bartender asked me if we had a name and I said Sadie. The bartender boomed "Sadie! Isn't that the coolest thing" the adopted guy said "Hey, Sadie's going to live in New York, that's awesome" and it sort of went on like that for a while.
The bartender bought me another drink and more people were asking questions. I passed Sadie's picture around. The bartender actually called to the dishwasher to come out from the back to see the picture. I was getting embarrassed but at the same time I was happy to be having an impromptu party for Sadie's adoption.
