Hi @beverlypalmore. Is this person you're looking for?:

You specified that you would like to find records between the adoption and the 1930 Census. There's a note (under the collaborate tab) about what might have happened to Clarence/Harold. I'd suggest contacting the person who wrote the note and ask what information they have.

I also saw this contribution by another researcher.
Birth Certificate gives this name, Clarence Harry Besaw. It is believed that Harold Lee Palmore was born Clarence Harry Besaw, son of Richard Besaw (9NP5-9K2) and Bertha Tallman (L6P8-RFZ) and was adopted between 1920 and 1929, (when he appears in a school record under the name Harold Lee Palmore), by Leon Marion Palmore (GG4L-4HZ) and Lillian Patton (GG42-1FC).
You may want to reach out to them as well as they made some fairly recent [Dec '24] contributions to the profile

Beverly, a continent to start with might be nice. The answers to "where are the records?" questions tend to be highly location-specific.

@beverlypalmore a good starting place would be the FS Research Wiki, available from the FS home page Search menu (for some reason I am finding it impossible to capture a direct Research Wiki URL, sorry).
You may also benefit from joining the most relevant geographical Community Group.

Good morning
The general page for the FamilySearch Wiki Pages and you can drill down from there.

@beverlypalmore Not quite what you're looking for… but in the Divorce record for his adoptive parents he is mentioned as being an adopted son, age seventeen. Rest is all circumstantial, but supportive of your speculation. The first appearance of 'Harold' in Oklahoma in the records I was able to find is 1928 in Carter County. When he first arrived and where is hard to say. The adoption could have been in one of several counties… with what I think are most likely — Carter County and Pittsburg County. As was suggested, I'd dig into what Oklahoma records may hold for the Orphan Trains….
