    They are genetically related anyway. Just like Wolverine and X-23 share DNA. Logan wasn't there when Laura was a kid doesn't mean they should act like strangers. Logan and Laura like Jean and Rachel met after the kids were already grown, that doesn't mean they can't have a relationship.

Or, at least, it isn't a fork caused by Kitty's mind projection to the 616's past or Rachel's travel to the 616 past: Both universes were already different prior to those events. In one universe, Jean/Phoenix died on the moon, in the other she lived, married Scott and gave birth to Rachel.

    The consequence is that 616 Jean could never have been in Rachel's past, even if the timeline changed. She could never have been Rachel's mother. For 616 Jean, Rachel is nothing. A total stranger that just had a mother that looked like Jean and that was also called "Jean".
    Jean, Nathan, and Scott accept Rachel genetically as family nonetheless so that's all that counts.

    Exactly. Rachel was nothing to 616 Jean. Their relationship is of the same kind as she could have developed with anyone else. As for Rachel, she was seeing her mother in Jean but that was deluding herself. At first she believed that she was in her past but after she realized that she was in another universe's past.

    You mean like Nathan and Hope or Logan and Laura?

    To bad neither Jean nor Rachel feel that way about each other

    Sure they now accept Rachel as family (they accept a lot of other people as family too actually... And Jean didn't accept Rachel at first). I don't understand why you say "genetically" because accepting someone as family has little to do with genetic.

    Anyway, I was answering to comment of the kind "if you travel in time and meet someone that is supposed to be your kid (or the reverse), you would be curious about it" to point out that Rachel isn't Jean child. She isn't even Jean's child from an alternate future of Jean because Rachel's 811 could never be a possible future of Jean's 616 universe: The separation between the 811 and 616 universe happened when Jean died/lived on the moon or earlier. Jean wasn't pregnant at that time and then she was dead in the 616.

    You realize how insensitive you're coming off right? Especially to people who have been adopted or fostered?

    Sure. But it also doesn't mean that they should automatically act like if they are relatives. There is nothing mandatory in their relationship (or lake of) contrary to what some readers want to make it. Their relationship is the one that developed after knowing each others.

    Jean has a different kind of bond with Nathan because she raised him since he was a baby and spend many years as a real family with him and Scott. She only knew Rachel as an adult and didn't spent that much time with her outside of "work".

    LOL...they didnt even work much together. Prior to her return last year, Excalibur 75 was the most time Jean ever spent alone with Rachel. That was maybe like an hour tops. She then saw her at her wedding but she was preoccupied for the most part

    Either you didn't understood what I wrote or imho, it's you who is specially insensitive to adopted people or people who adopted: are you really saying that you can only be accept as family or accept someone as family if you are genetically related?

    You may be curious about who your genetic parents are. You may want to know about them and learn to know them because they are a part of who you are. But the "genetic relationship" is an abstract concept until you meet and develop (or not) a relationship with those people. It's not something that is given or automatic. Plenty of people don't want to know their genetic parent or children. On the other side, the people that always were part of your life, whatever you are genetically related to them or not, have a bond with you. They made who you are at a deeper level than just genetic.

    I was being generous (and I am assuming that they spent some time together off-book after they started to know each others in X-Factor)

    If that's the case, why don't they just retcon her lineage away. She'll be Rachel Martin or something like that. If the writers shouldn't tackle it, then get rid of it.

    Otherwise, there is no real world precedent for her. Jean-811 is her mom. Jean-616 is functionally identical. If that difference is too much for you, fine. But I tend to think Jean, being a WORLD-CLASS EMPATH, would have slightly more empathy than that.
