I am a Christian but contrary to popular belief I do not believe everything that is told to me by another Christian. So that is why I'm asking to make sure it is not just one of those 'Chinese whispers.

It is just rumour. Adam is said to be only 12 feet approximately or 4 meters tall.

Well the height of Adam is not mentioned in the Qu'ran, however I have found this hadith regarding the topic of inquiry
Volume 8, Book 74, Number 246:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam in his complete shape and form (directly), sixty cubits (about 30 meters) in height. When He created him, He said (to him), "Go and greet that group of angels sitting there, and listen what they will say in reply to you, for that will be your greeting and the greeting of your offspring." Adam (went and) said, 'As-Salamu alaikum (Peace be upon you).' They replied, 'AsSalamu-'Alaika wa Rahmatullah (Peace and Allah's Mercy be on you) So they increased 'Wa Rahmatullah' The Prophet added 'So whoever will enter Paradise, will be of the shape and form of Adam. Since then the creation of Adam's (offspring) (i.e. stature of human beings is being diminished continuously) to the present time."
And God knows best.
Peace Be With You

No, this is not a part of Muslim belief or an understanding.

This is based on the size of his grave which is located in today's Syria.
