Assuming what Gamech4ng3r said is right...

- Ruby: Parents are dead, or maybe just her mother is dead and her father is missing, or her father died in battle. Or both parents died in battle. You never know.

- Yang: Dead or deadbeat father. Her mother couldn't take care of her, maybe due to being too poor or being in a rather bad, maybe dangerous, situation. Or maybe her mother's part of a bad family, and she didn't want Yang having to grow up in such a family and possibly ending up like her relatives.

Though, if they're both adopted, couldn't Ruby have been taken in by Crow? Unless he doesn't think he's suitable to care for her. It's hard to tell what was implied by Ozpin pointing out Ruby's silver eyes. It could imply that Crow has silver eyes and insinuate she is his blood relative, or maybe Ruby's mother had silver eyes, and Ozpin knew her mother. Or, like some have said, maybe there's some prophecy or something about a girl with silver eyes. /ramble
