The study on the situation of Romanian children conducted by Alternative Sociale indicates that the presence of a strong Romanian community in the country of migration facilitates the readjustment to the community of origin. However, the positive effect of this factor decreases with the increase of the period of time spent abroad (the percentage of children who experience adjustment difficulties is significantly higher among the group of children who have spent more than 3 years abroad). Remigration, Identity, and Adjustment 185 An assumption supported, apparently, by common sense is that remigrants should not have adjustment difficulties or that these difficulties should be minor, negligible, because in their case the cultural elements of the community of origin (such as language) are already well-known. This assumption is shared by the community and the remigrants themselves (Gaw 2000, Mooradian 2004). In reality, when individuals return to their community of origin, especially after having spent a long time abroad they discover that "home" is not the same well-known place and that even the family and friends have changed (Luca et al. 2012). A "reverse cultural shock" takes place, after which, according to several studies (Adler 1981, Storti 2001, Uehara 1986) the process of adjustment is more difficult than the one following the "initial cultural shock" (the shock that the remigrants felt when they arrived in the foreign country). Despite this observation, the "reverse cultural shock" is less approached than the "initial culture shock" (Adler 1981, Mooradian 2004). Moreover, those who successfully adapted to another culture (those who overcame the initial shock of adapting to the country of migration) have the most difficulties when having to adapt home (Koester 1984, Mooradian 2004). Usually, migrants go through a process of preparation for the shock of a new culture (by acquiring information about the country in general and about the community in particular); such a stage usually does not exist when they return in the community of origin. In this context, the social support is essential in facilitating their adjustment (all the more so in the case of remigrant children), but the likelihood of this support being provided is affected by the image of this group, which is perceived as needing it much less than other vulnerable groups (especially if there are other groups of migrants in that particular community).

However, the positive effect of this component decreases with the increase of the menstruation of time spent overseas (the share of children who experience allowance difficulties is significantly high among the group of children who have spent more than 3 years overseas).

Despite this observation, the " reverse cultural shock " is less approached than the " initial culture jolt " (Adler 1981, Mooradian 2004). Moreover, those who successfully adapted to another culture (those who overwhelm the initial shock of adapting to the country of migration) have the most difficulty when having to adjust home (Koester 1984, Mooradian 2004).
