In "Semi-Prominent Negro" W Kamau Bell talked about his white wife being in this situation re their children. There's even a book on it now: Chocolate Hair Vanilla Care: A Parent's Guide to Beginning Natural Hair Styling https://www.amazon.com/dp/1500666041/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lYkCCb03RXBZ6

Oh goodness, that's so hard. I'm so sorry you're in this position. And while it's true that you can't protect her from the pain of eventually knowing she was abandoned by her parents, you can give her the security and joy of being raised in a family that loves her.
There's a book called chocolate hair vanilla care which could be helpful if she as a coarse textured hair.
We've had a similar situation, and my wife and I found the book "Chocolate Hair Vanilla Care" very helpful. I think there is a website/blog related to it as well. https://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Hair-Vanilla-Care-Beginning/dp/1500666041
So, I'm white (with curly hair) and my husband is black with super tight afro-textured hair that grows in on itself rather then getting long (he just shaves it off or very short).
We won't actually know your child's curl/hair texture until they are not only born but age a bit. Our daughter (now two) was born with a bunch of hair that was black and almost completely straight. Over the next year it became brown and curly. If combed while wet her hair forms a bunch of little ringlets about the size of an adult's pink finger. It poofs up easily if combed dry or napped on, car seat, ect.
I'm still learning since my hair is much less curly then my daughter's and also seems to work differently.
I think this is awesome. A comedian did a bit about this subject; he was black and his wife was white and she didn't know how to handle their daughter's hair. The mom wrote and published a book called "Chocolate Hair Vanilla Care".
