For Pema and his wife, becoming parents was a dream they carried for a long time. When having a child of their own did not happen as they had hoped, they chose a different path, opening their hearts and home to a child who needed a family.

That journey led them to The PEMA Home.

“I have always had a deep and enduring love for children,” he says.

Pema and his wife wanted to experience the joy of parenthood, but also hoped to “provide a child with safe, loving, and stable home” and make “a meaningful and positive difference in a child’s life.”

What stayed with them about The PEMA Home was that its work went far beyond finding a family for a child.

From their first visit, Pema and his wife felt welcomed and supported. The careful process that followed with background checks, health assessments and consideration of their family and home environment, showed him how seriously The PEMA Home takes a child’s future.

“Their work is not simply about finding a home for a child,” he says. It is about making sure each child is placed in “a safe, caring and supportive environment.”

For Pema, that is what makes a home.

“Home is not just a place,” he says. “It is a place where a child is seen, loved and be part of the family.”

The PEMA Home understands that children who have experienced difficult circumstances may need more than food and shelter. They need patience, stability, emotional security and someone who believes in them. They need to feel “valued, accepted and supported.”

Today, he is learning those lessons as a first time father.

He says becoming an adopting parent has taught him “patience, love, understanding” and what it truly means to provide an unconditional love, safe and supportive home for a child.

Pema and his wife came to The PEMA Home hoping to become parents.

What they found was more than a path to parenthood. They found a place that helped create not just a home for a child, but a family that finally felt complete.
