Yeah, it'll be hard for the first few days/weeks, but in a couple of months you'll be glad you did.
If you don't, you'll have months/years of dealing with this, which may very well end up in someone (a child who is not your own) getting hurt. It isn't worth it. You tried to do a nice thing, it didn't work out. Move on.

I'm gonna have to agree... I'm a huge dog lover and had a similar situation with a Airedale I rescued. He was not as skittish as you describe, but never had all his wires connected if you know what I mean.
He did turn on one of my kids, actually my 12 month old at the time, without warning. I was there it intervene, and I actually don't know what would have happened if I was not there, maybe nothing, but my loyal 10 year old Wirehair Pointer, then faced off with Him, and pinned him, they were best friends, She (the wirehair) never could be in the same room with him again. I brought him in to the humane society the next day, he failed their adoption tests and Airedale rescue placed him with a nice retired gentleman out in the country.
I loved that stupid dog, but he crossed a line.
