California, for kids under 3 is a bit of an exception. The laws have changed to favor permanency ASAP (which means about 2 years) and it's usually this order of priority:
1. Reunification
2. Adoption by Kin
3. Adoption by someone else
All 3 of the foster kids we adopted were under 3 when they entered the system. One reunified, and then was placed back with us a year later.
