My thoughts are that if he isn't actively seeking you out, then you should make the information readily available through whatever mediums are out there for those searching, but you shouldn't be pushing the info on him.

If he doesn't know that he was adopted (or even worse, if it's not really who you think it is, and he wasn't adopted), receiving that information would turn his world upside down. Honestly I don't think it's a fair thing to do, as his family is in a better position to know when he is mature enough to know. If he's seeking his birth mother, he'll find you as long as you leave the clues out there. If he's not, it's simply not fair to upset his world just for your curiosity.

Medical information may have been important many decades ago, but with today's medical advances, he already knows more about himself medically than your parents knew about themselves, even knowing their family lineage.

The seed of information is in his hands now, no matter if its fair or not, so there is really nothing more that you should do. He'll look you up if he wants to. To do any more would be pushing contact on him, in my opinion.

Here's wishing you the best in coping with the wait and uncertainty, I can only imagine how difficult that must be.
