Is the girl in Thailand or Laos? Not that it makes that much of a difference but I would like to know.
Here are the steps I would take:

1.Tell your parents. You are an adult but without knowing your exact situation as a student they probably are supporting you. If the baby is yours this will have an impact on them. Denmark if I'm not mistaken is a pretty tolerant country this is a situation you will need your parents emotional and financial support. Don't fear any scandal, fear for the well being of your child and mother. You will probably have to take some time off from school to get this situation sorted out. Don't worry your school will always be there, take care of your responsibilities

2. Verify if she is pregnent, if she is make sure she recieves good prenatal care even though you have not confirmed this is your baby or not, you still care for this girl. You will have to come back to where she is to confirm pregnency. (Yes this will take time away from school).

3. Confirm DNA You need to know if it's your baby or not. This has to be done by dna testing only.

4. If it's your baby You then have two choices I feel.
a. Bring mom and baby back home to your country.Eurogirl details that part in the previous post.
b. Send support to mom and baby and have baby raised in mom's home country. This might be the most feasable as Asian families have good support from the whole family. The mom would not feel alone with a baby to raise in a foreign country but have her whole village and parents helping her with her first baby. (Is this her first child?)

This is a test of your manhood and your family's moral fabric. If you care for this girl DO THE RIGHT THING and take care of her.

I have not been through this before but is just what I would do when you presented this challenge.

Best of luck!
