Colorado’s Failed Adoptions
The Colorado Sun took an in-depth look at how hundreds of children in our foster care system were failed twice — first when they suffered abuse and neglect and had to enter the system, and again when those adoptions failed and they reentered care.
Through dozens of interviews with adoptive families, young adults who were sent back into the system, child advocates and child welfare officials, we’ve found a lack of support for both children and parents. >> Our 4-part series

Colorado River Compact: 100 Years Later

It’s a crisis that threatens the people in seven states, more than two dozen Native American tribes and the country of Mexico.
The Sun co-published a series of stories created collaboratively with other newsrooms across the Colorado River Basin. Our partners on this project are The Associated Press, The Albuquerque Journal, The Salt Lake Tribune, The Arizona Daily Star and The Nevada Independent. >> Read more
