The visit, which was initially intended to be a quiet act of volunteer work, reported had a profound emotional impact on him. Within days, Vesia began the process of applying for adoption.

“Alex walked in with that big smile everyone knows,” said Marta Ruiz, director of Blue Sky Home. “But you can see there was something deeper going on in his heart. He spent hours talking with the kids, reading to them, playing catch in the courtyard. By the time he left, he told me he felt something he hadn’t felt in a long time—hope.”

The Dodgers organization has since voiced its full support. Team president Stan Kasten released a statement praising Vesia’s courage and compassion: “Alex represents the very best of what it means to wear Dodger Blue—resilience, generosity, and heart. We are proud to stand with him in this deeply personal and inspiring decision.”

Fans across the world have echoed those sentiments. Within minutes of Vesia’s announcement, hashtags like #VesiaStrong and #DodgerFamily began trending on X (formerly Twitter). Messages of encouragement poured in from fellow players, celebrities, and thousands of supporters. One fan wrote, “Alex’s story reminds us that even in loss, love can find a new home.” Another posted, “He’s not just a hero on the field—he’s a hero in life.”

Sports commentators have also noted how Vesia’s story transcends baseball. “In an age when headlines are dominated by contracts and controversies,” said ESPN analyst Buster Olney, “this is a rare and beautiful reminder of humanity behind the uniform.”

While adoption processes can take time, those close to Vesia say he’s committed to seeing it through with patience and care. “He’s not rushing,” said one teammate. “He just wants to make sure he’s giving that child everything they deserve—a real family.”

As for Vesia, he’s keeping his focus steady, both on and off the field. “This isn’t about filling a void,” he said in his post. “It’s about sharing love that still has a place to go.”
