Wow
I feel for your long-lost sister. It must have been very difficult to deal with that refusal of contact.
It also makes me wonder why your Mom thinks contact with her would ruin her life. Perhaps the story is very sad and traumatic. If I were in your shoes, I'd try to keep that in mind. You say she is fragile. Perhaps that's for reasons you don't yet know... I would not push for any "obligatory reunion." If she can't get herself to have a relationship with your sister, there may be reasons why, devastating as that may be. And perhaps in time that will change, especially since the cat is out of the bag.
I hope you and your new sister can have a relationship with or without your Mom's consent - nobody can tell you who to have a relationship with, and an extra sister can be twice as nice! (I discovered I had couple of extra ones myself! :-)
