Have you filed a petition yet on your stepson's behalf yet? If not, start by reading the I-130 instructions and these guides:

Once the file arrives at the NVC, the documentation that would need to be submitted can be found here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html

The NVC will also require Affidavit of Support documentation from you also (Form I-864 and relevant financial documents).

You will not need custody documents yet (like for more then 5 months from filing your i130). Just get your i130 sent of right away. For the custody documents usually you only need the other parent to sign a paper saying that it is ok that the children permanently integrate to the usa. And it may only be needed at the airport after you already have the visas in your hand. But that depends on the country you are leaving.
