Is it possible to have a legal guardian appointed in addition to, not instead of, the natural parent?

More details to this question:
My step-daughter is 15 years old and her mother died when she was 8 years old. My husband and I have talked about me becoming a legal guardian so that it is easier for me to take her to various doctor appointments and deal school, etc. We don't want to do an adoption, because I don't think she would be very comfortable with that.

He just needs to give you a durable power of attorney authorizing you to make medical, disciplinary and educational decisions for her.
