Alright, well the father not being in the picture AT ALL certainly changes things. I think what you are doing is noble and you have a great outlook. Based on that positivity, you have a very good chance. Your patience and fortitude will be your strength.
I wouldn't do this myself, but that doesn't make my outlook "correct". I want to tell you that years down the line the kid will be appreciative of you and all you have to offer. The realist in me is still wary, but I think you have a great attitude.
IIN to not love my stepchild?
