D'Arce Hess
Adoptive Family Specialist

D'Arce helps families through the starting steps of their adoption journeys, before they are matched with a birth mother. She says, "The greatest joy is having the ability to help families create memories that will last for lifetimes to come."

Besides her work at Lifetime, she is also a staff writer for Archery Focus Magazine and enjoys teaching archery to young children and adults in the community. She loves to work with people.

D'Arce holds a B.A. in Music Education and Italian from Chapman University and enjoys teaching instrumental music. She has performed in the Renaissance Faires for 14 years.
