@GM
Use parse method to convert string into date format.
Date.ValueOf() does not accept null value as its input parameter.
The format of the String depends on the local date format.Try giving date in the format yyyy-mm-dd. It should work.

Example :
String abc = '03/03/1990';
System.debug('Gm '+ date.parse(abc));

To check string ,
Date d = String.isBlank(str) ? null : Date.valueOf(str);
