The chloroplast is a cellular organelle that performs photosynthesis while a stoma (plural: stomata) is a two-celled structure seen on leaf surfaces. Thus, chloroplasts cannote be said to "contain stomata". Stomata are pores that regulate water evaporation and gas exchange. The two guard cells that form the stomatal pore each contain chloroplasts.

However, I feel you may be confusing the term "stoma" with "stroma". "Stroma" is a term used for the liquid matrix seen inside chloroplasts - i.e. chloroplasts contain stroma. Many important photosynthetic reactions occur in the stroma and thylakoids in the chloroplast are surrounded by it.
