Prince Sagala desperately searched for her son and daughter for 15 years. She feared she had lost them forever to the estranged husband who took them to his native Mexico.
Her fears were replaced by joy when she typed her daughter's name into Facebook on a library computer and discovered that her children, now 16 and 17, were safe and with their father in Florida.
But in a span of days, a mother eagerly hoping for a happy reunion realized another nightmare was just beginning: they didn't want her.
And for her children, their father was suddenly in jail on kidnapping and child custody charges and their life outside Orlando was turned upside down.
Now, Sagala is racing to regain custody of her children before they turn 18 and she loses them to adulthood.
