Adoptee Looking for Advice On Contacting Birth Sibling

I need some advice from anyone that has gone through something similar. Long story short (can add more details if anyone would like) but I (32F)  was adopted as a baby and about a year ago I went through the process to find my birth family. It was a crazy journey but I was able to find my birth mom and her side of the family. Haven't had much luck with my birth dad's side yet. 

My birth mom doesn't want contact at this time which I totally respect and understand but I have discovered I have an older sister who my mom kept and I have been kind of freaking out about the idea of contacting her. She's about 2.5 years older than me and the hard part (well it's all hard LOL) is I don't know if she has any clue I exist! Its been almost a year since I found and reached out to my birth mom so I have been thinking about my sister a lot. Unsure if I should reach out or just leave it alone. Has anyone gone through this and can give me some advice?
