Question - what's the situation with the little girl's biological father? Is he likely to resurface in her life?
It seems like you have little option besides telling the truth from the get-go. If the mother is going to be part of the picture at all, she's likely to spill the beans at some point (probably in an immature effort to put distance between you and "her" daughter). Make sure she knows the truth, but also knows that you see yourself as her "real" dad. Best of luck, and for all of your sakes I hope the mother grows up or just disappears.
