Is that the same as "Full Custody"?
And as a stepmother, do I have any say or do I still need to have the legal guardianship POA?

I think it depends on where you are. There are physical and legal custodys in my state. My DH has sole physical and sole legal custody, in his case that means "full" custody.

I'm pretty sure you'd still need to have POA. But you could probably talk to a lawyer or something to find out for sure.
