I understand that Olivia had no choice, but it really sucks she just left them behind. They seemed like great kids and I was really hoping that we'd at least see them get reunited.

exactly. my mother was in a relationship with a man with children when i was a child. after a few years of living together, they split up, and the kids - who had essentially been my siblings - were gone. i've never seen them since. i have, out of curiosity, stalked them on facebook.. but it's been 25 years and we were kids. i'd feel weird contacting them at this point.
i think this aspect of the movie is also meant to showcase the lack of control Mason has over his life at that point.

"i have, out of curiosity, stalked them on facebook.. but it's been 25 years and we were kids."
Would you like to contact them? Maybe they have been wondering too and would like to contact you?
" i'd feel weird contacting them at this point. "
Ah, avoiding embarrassment. John Guare, in his forward to The House of Blue Leaves, says that all human tragedy, from the Oresteia on down, can be linked to avoiding embarrassment.
I think you should do it. In all likelihood, they've been wondering too. You could always use seeing "Boyhood" as yuor prompt. -

she replied within an hour of my message and asked to get together
it will be strange to see her, but i'm really excited! i'll definitely let you know how it goes.. i would never have had the nerve to contact her without your prompting

This made me happier than anything else I've seen in 10+ years on IMDb. -

aww! i'm glad!! it went remarkably well - it was definitely a bit awkward for a few minutes considering we don't know each other anymore so it was like 2 strangers sitting at a table hahaha but that went away pretty quickly because we had a lot to talk about and catch up on, and it was really nice to see what kind of an adult she's turned into. we've friended each other on facebook now so i no longer have to creep her profile
and she said she'd tried to find me on there but i am under my married name so she couldn't find me. her sisters, who were much younger than we were, no longer live in the same city as we do, so hopefully when they come home at Christmas i'll be able to see them, too. anyway, it was a good experience - we may not be able to re-establish the relationship we had when our parents were together, but i'm really glad we re-connected
