Well hello there my fellow Missourian [Osage Beach, MO]. In a nutshell: Temp. Guardianship is just as it sounds, temporary, meaning it shall one day expire. Wherein the POA & Custody orders shall provide you with all the same benefits as if she/he was born from your womb. Does that help at all? If so, please rate my answer..thank you & stay warm, okay lovie?...♥nassy
