If the child lives with them they can call themselves step mom or bonus dad if the child still have access to their biological parents. But a guardian can also be a relative so a guardian can't always call themselves the child's parent.

AnswerObviously there are many different situations in which a child may have a court appointed guardian and so there is no single answer.

Sometimes a guardian is appointed when the parents die in an accident or completely abandon the child. In that case it would be appropriate for the guardian to be treated as a parent and the child treated as their own child. You haven't included any details so the answer is yes, sometimes.

When someone asks the guardian's official legal statusthey should not identify themselves as the parent. A school or doctor's office may want a copy of the guardianship order for their files.

Certainly. For example, foster parents and grandparents are often given legal guardianship of a minor child by the courts if the parents are unable to care for the child.
