It helps to hear different perspectives on the issue. I know I could never take the father's place but if I decided to stay, I would do everything I can to make sure she is taken care of and would treat her like a daughter. Her real father is a deadbeat junkie and if it was up to me, he'd be out of the picture. It's not up to me so all I can do is stand aside and try to be supportive.
I'm at the crossroads right now. I have some thinking to do before I decide which way to go. Thanks for all the advice, it's been very helpful.
