The photo slideshow isset to music, interviews with the police and thekids' mom, Emily Cablek, and the message: Please help us find our way home.

"I want my kids to know how much I love them; that I'll never, ever stop looking for them," Cablek says in the video. "They're my life and life hasn't been the same since they've been gone.

"I'd love to see them going to school, having sleepovers, going with their cousins and just doing normal kid things. I just don't know what they're doing at all and it breaks my heart every day."

Canada-wide warrants are in effect forthe kids' father, Kevin Maryk, and two other menpolice believe helped in the abduction: Cody McKay, who is Kevin Maryk's nephew, and Robert Groen, who policedescribe as an associate of Maryk.

Abby and Dominicwere on vacation with Maryk in August 2008, when police believe he tookthem out ofCanada.

They kids wereseven and five years old at the time. Abby is now nine and Dominic will turn 11 in January.

The vacation was approved by the court,but Cablek has legal custody.

Both police and Cablek say they believe there are people friends, family members or acquaintances who may know the whereabouts of Dominic and Abby.

Police said some people may also be helping Kevin Maryk and the children stay hidden from the authorities by providing shelter or financial support.
