Aubrey and Blake Jung have dedicated the past seven years to fostering children while also serving youth through their work with Saint Francis Ministries in Oklahoma. Aubrey works in foster care placement, helping connect children with foster families and working to keep siblings together whenever possible. She understands that maintaining those family connections can provide comfort and stability during one of the most difficult times in a child’s life.
Their fostering journey began after they both felt called to open their home to children in need. Their first placement involved two sisters from a large sibling group, introducing them to the challenges and rewards of caring for children who have experienced trauma. While the experience stretched them in unexpected ways, they saw firsthand how providing love, consistency, and a safe home could make a lasting difference in a child’s life.
Over the years, Aubrey and Blake have welcomed numerous children into their family, treating each one as their own. They believe children need more than a place to stay—they need stability, encouragement, and caring adults who will be present through difficult moments and everyday milestones. Watching children gain confidence, develop healthy habits, and discover their self-worth has been one of the most rewarding aspects of their fostering journey.
The couple is passionate about raising awareness of the ongoing need for foster families, particularly as many children continue to wait for placement. Through both their professional and personal experiences, they have witnessed the life-changing impact that foster parents can have on a child’s future. Their message is one of hope and encouragement: foster care may be challenging, but providing a safe, loving home can make an immeasurable difference in the life of a child.
