More details to this question:
My daughter’s boyfriend wants to live with my family. He was legally abandoned by his mother and his father is giving his consent that his son can live with us. What sort of legal steps would I need to take to have him live here? I don't want to adopt him, but would he need to have his father turn over guardianship to me?

If it is short term, a notarized permission to treat for medical purposes may suffice.

Not necessarily. His father apparently is around so he could give you permission to talk to schools and doctors about him. Consult an attorney for the best way to do this.
