Re: child custody
Really need to know the long-term plan to understand what you want. You could adopt the child, but that would be permanent. You might also file for guardianship of the child.
Why is it to be "temporary"?
"Unknown fathers" have a tendency to spring up all the time. So watch what you do.
Best have an attorney sort through this once all the facts are clear.
