In addition to her biological children, Marie Antoinette adopted four children: "Armand" [[Francois-Michel Gagné]], a poor orphan adopted in 1776; [[Jean Amilcar]], a Senegalese slave boy given to the queen as a present by [[Chevalier de Boufflers]] in 1787, but whom she instead freed, baptized, adopted and placed in a pension; [[Ernestine Lambriquet]], daughter of two servants at the palace, who was raised as the playmate of her daughter Marie-Thérèse and whom she adopted after the death of her mother in 1788; and "Zoe" [["Zoe" Jeanne Louise Victoire|Jeanne Louise Victoire]], who was adopted in 1790 along with her two older sisters when her parents, an usher and his wife in service of the king, had died.<ref name="ReferenceA">Philippe Huisman, Marguerite Jallut: ''Marie Antoinette'', Stephens, 1971.</ref> Of these, only Armand, Ernestine, and Zoe actually lived with the royal family: Jean Amilcar, along with the elder siblings of Zoe and Armand who were also formally foster children of the royal couple, simply lived at the queen's expense until her imprisonment, which proved fatal for at least Amilcar, as he was evicted from the boarding school when the fee was no longer paid and reportedly starved to death on the street but in actuality was taken in by one of his teachers and passed a few years later of illness.<ref name="ReferenceA" /><ref name="ReferenceB">''[https://books.google.com/books?id=uc_5DAAAQBAJ&dq=Jean+Amilcar+beldon&pg=PT41 Une autre histoire]''</ref> Armand and Zoe had a position which was more similar to that of Ernestine; Armand lived at court with the king and queen until he left them at the outbreak of the revolution because of his republican sympathies, and Zoe was chosen to be the playmate of the dauphin, just as Ernestine had once been selected as the playmate of Marie-Thérèse, and later sent away to her sisters in a convent boarding school before the Flight to Varennes in 1791.<ref name="ReferenceA" />
