That's probably just an extremely old theory that someone came up with two years ago.

Two years ago, Monty Oum, the creator of RWBY, outright said "Ruby and Adam are not related." Here's where he said it.

As for how Ruby ended up in Yang's family, Yang told us all we need to know in Burning the Candle. Yang's mother and Taiyang were in a relationship and birthed Yang. Immediately afterward, Yang's mother left, for some reason. Two years later, Summer and Taiyang birthed Ruby. Meaning that Ruby and Yang have the same father, and Ruby has lived with that family ever since she was born.
