Reply to comment by kaibelf in My (38F) half-sister makes me (30F) feel like a distant relative by Witty-Grocery-3092

Then there’s no point in being in this child’s life if she makes no effort to be in mine.

Correct, and therein lies the conundrum for you. Are you wanting to be in the child’s life simply to be in it (even in the periphery), or was that conditional based on how much your half-sister engages you from the start? You have to decide what “the point” was in the first place, and act accordingly.
