King's Ranch is a godsend!
We've been doing UG for 7 months now and I can say I'm confident we are through the worst now. We are seeing growth and warmth in our two little girls that I only dreamed of half a year ago. We still have bad moments, but not bad days and weeks like we used to have. Our home can function peacefully now, and that is thanks to the touch of God's healing, and the help I received from my UG supporters. Thank you so much. What you are doing is changing families, and strong families can change the world.
I am so grateful for the support offered by King’s Ranch. Not only have we gained helpful tools for our family, we know there is an understanding team who pray for us and really know what we are going through and the sort of encouragement and support we need.
“The tools we gained from Unplowed Ground to help parent our adopted child were priceless. We are so grateful. I was ready to give up. I had no idea how to handle these strange behaviors, and my buttons were always pushed. I can now appropriately handle my child and help him to learn how to manage his own behaviors. We are far from perfect, but have made so much progress.”
“We struggled for several years with our first two adopted children. We didn’t know what it was… but we knew something was wrong and we couldn’t figure it out. Then we were trained in Unplowed Ground, and it has completely changed our family and our home! We finally saw that our kids needed something from us that we weren’t providing. We fully believe that God led us to Unplowed Ground to be equipped and empowered in order for our children to find true healing, which comes from Him alone.”
“Before implementing Unplowed Ground, our 3 year old was very aggressive with our two other children, was very defiant when instructed to do anything, was throwing major temper tantrums, etc. After Unplowed Ground, her behavior did a complete turn around. She is no longer aggressive and the defiance has slowly faded away. She is thriving, and we are thriving, because we now have tools to use with her that are effective and tailored for her needs.”

A Note from Lee Anne Cooper
This placed me on a journey to be equipped. I had the opportunity to work with and be trained by the top attachment specialists in the nation. I founded King’s Ranch, a residential facility for abused, neglected, and abandoned children, where for over 15 years I parented children with severe developmental trauma and multiple failed adoptions. These were children whom adoption specialists, mental health professionals, social workers, and family services directors deemed unable to ever function in a home environment. With the right parenting techniques, we saw many of them heal from developmental trauma and reactive attachment disorder. Moving toward more secure connections, they were then adopted by loving forever families, whom we equipped with the same therapeutic parenting techniques for long-term success.
Lee Anne Cooper, RNP, Author of Unplowed Ground and Therapeutic Parenting Specialist
In 2011, I began to compile the best of the strategies I had learned and tested over my years of experience parenting traumatized children. Unplowed Ground is the result.
When God called me to open my heart and my home to abused, neglected, and abandoned children, He gave me the name King’s Ranch. My greatest hope then is still my greatest hope today — that every child might know that they are a child of the King. I would love to partner with you to make that a reality in our communities and in our world today.
