How assertive to be in making contact?

Re-Uniting (Advice?)

I've posted two additional times in this sub about finding out I had a daughter and attempting to make contact. I've been pretty passive: sent a facebook message and a message through ancestry once the DNA test confirmed she is my daughter. As of now, all messages remain unread. I have other potential avenues for contact: possible phone number and other connections on Facebook. But I don't want to come across as overbearing or demanding. Do I wait indefinitely and hope she sees the message eventually? Do I call or text? It's only been about three weeks since I sent the messages, but I'm getting a little antsy...
