Fams, we get it. Nobody is knocking you for providing for another mans seed. But we're talking in the eyes of the law. I know its pobably an emotionally trying time for you but you need to separate your emotions from logical thinking. The lawyer will probably end up telling you the same thing, Dude will have to give up rights and you will need to adopt her. There is pretty much no other way around it. Unless you pack everything up and skip town. Which could also lead to kidnapping charges. But hey, YOLO right ?
