Wow! this story really touched my heart!! It's great that you and your boyfriend have gotten this girl out of danger! It seems that your boyfriend has bonded with the little girl in a "daddy" kind of way. It's great to be doing such a GREAT thing for this little girl!!! However, I totally understand your concerns....I am almost 21 and although I want kids in the future, I don't want any now. On the other hand, you could alter the situation a little. What do I mean? Instead of trying to be a mother and father of this child, you could both try to be like an older sister or older brother to her. If she is taken away after a month, it won't be as dramatic for her and she'll know that she has two people who really care for her. I think it would be great to take care of this little girl for a while. Take advantage of the opportunity and take her to the zoo, go shopping, go for ice cream, have fun with her!!! It will also help to take her mind off of all the pain she might be experiencing!
