Default instant family??

Well, ive been with my bf for about 4 months... and he was working across the street from this house where he would hear a mother yelling at her child.. so he felt that something was wrong, so he called the cops.. well this happed a few times, he didnt call everytime, and the social services came and took the child away.. so for the past month this poor little girl has been moving from house to house being very uncomfortable. And, in a couple of weeks, she will go to court for her mom to get back custody.. but in the mean time, my man doesnt want this girl to miss anymore school, and be in a safe, comfortable, positive environment. so he wants to foster this child until then.... well this is very extravigant to me.. and i want to help, but he would be working nights, and i would be working mornings, and picking her up after she gets out of school.. ive never met this child, and i would have to move in his house... is it selfish of me to not want to take this responsibility?? even if its only temporary, ( but could be permanant if mother doesnt get custody!) Im not sure how to handle this.. Im 23 and he is 32. I have been preparing to be a mother, somewhat mentally, but its so sudden, and life changing.. ????
Unfortunatly, we have been having problems with the social workers, they have been giving us the "run around" so nothings forsure... IS THIS CRAZY???? or is it just me??
