FMLA does not have anything to do with getting paid for the tme off. FMLA holds your job while you take the time off. I believe you can take up to 12 weeks of FMLA for addoption or having a baby. If you qualify under FMLA your employer can not tell you how much time you can take off. I have also heard that this time can be split up over the year, but this information is not verified.
My company has short term disability for having a baby, but it does not cover adoption. I will use my vacation time and then go with unpaid leave for the rest of the time. I have not decided how much time I will take yet.
