God's foreknowledge does not take away from our free will. If I know that my daughter is playing with matches, and I allow her to continue and start the house on fire, I "foreknew" that it would happen. Did I take away her free will? Hardly. Not the best analogy, but it is clear that foreknowledge does not have to interfere with free will.

So although the plan of Salvation was ordained before the foundation of the earth God was not sure who the mother would be?

I said God had foreknowledge of Mary's reply to the angel. How is that not knowing who the mother would be? This foreknowledge does not take away from Mary's free will.
