Next door to Adolph is another Garot family, all born in Belgium. The head of the household is Leon, matching the name of cathnerine Garot Girerd's oldest son. There seems to be only 13 years between their ages, so it seems likely this is an older brother of Adolph. Immigration records indicate that Leon immigrated in 1884, the same year as Adolph, strengthening the indicaiion of family ties. Leon was naturalized in 1892, 11 years before Adolph (se below).

The birth places of Adolph's children tell us about when they moved to Arkansas. The 1910 census reports the daughter Arline (Aline in 1920) was born in Louisiana abt 1906.. But the 1920 census says she was born in Arkansas. From other family informaiton (see Jean Girerd) it appears the birthplace in Arkansas would be correct for Aline (Arline?), not Louisiana. Their son Victor was born in Louisiana abt 1901 or 1902. So we can say Adolph moved his family to LaGrue, Arkansas County, between late 1901 1906.
Aline is reported out of order if her age is correct. Note that all the children are reported as having parents who wee both born in Belgium. But Adolph's wife here was born in Louisiana. If this is correct, it means that Lagnine is not their mother, but their stepmother. This may also be an enumerator error. But the 1930 census below clarifies this by reporting the mother of all the chldlren born in Louisiana, matcher Adolph's wife.
The census above reports that information about Adolph's immigration and naturalizaton is unknown. I found his naturalization record online at Ancestry.com. He was naturalized on 2 March 1903. One of the witnesses was his brother-in-law Jean F Girerd (whose name was recorded in this record as Jean S Girard). Another witness was one Numa Mouton, with the surname of Theresa Girerd's husband, Francis E Mouton. In the 1930 census, there are Moutons living near Adolph.

The 1930 census corrects the birthplace problem, reporteing Marie L[agnine] as born in Louisiana, and the mother of the three chidlren also born in Louisiana. This seems to indicate that Marie is indeed the mother of these children, and the 1920 report of their mother's birth in Belgium was an enumerator error.
