As a parent and an adoptive parent, I've had my share of fears, especially regarding my son's reunion with his birth family. One of the best peices of advice a friend gave me was this: Parent from strength, not from fear.

I can acknowledge my fears, but not allow them to determine how I parent my child, or to deprive him of anything that may be comforting, healing or important to him just because it scares me.
