Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

I have been daddy to an 11 year old girl since she was 2 months old. Her mother and I have been split up since she was 2. I never adopted the girl and she supposedly is not mine Biologically. The biological father is no where in the picture. If something were to happen to the mother would i have grounds to go for custody? what would the chances of me being able to take the mother to court and gain parental rights now?
