The Infancy Gospel Of James is no part of the Scriptures and in fact contradicts what the account in Luke chapter one says about how Mary learned she was to bear Jesus.
In the Protoevangelium Joseph confronts Mary and Mary claims ignorance of the source of her pregnancy:

” And she wept bitterly, saying: I am innocent, and have known no man. And Joseph said to her: Whence then is that which is in thy womb? And she said: As the Lord my God liveth, I do not know whence it is to me.”

But of course an angel had previously explained to Mary even before she became pregnant.
