Just going off of the idea that God knows before we are born who will accept His gift and who will not? So are we predisposed, or is that just another example of His might, being all-knowing, and still allowing us the choice?

Yes. Read Ro. 9--it explains it all. John Piper has a good message series explaining Ro. 9 from a historical/linguistic/Biblical context. It can be found on his website at http://www.desiringgod.org
God bless you on your search for an answer to this question!

God chooses to exercise his infinite ability of foreknowledge in a selective way and to the degree that pleases him, then assuredly no human or angel can rightly say: “What are you doing?” (Job 9:12; Isa 45:9; Da 4:35) It is therefore not a question of ability, what God can foresee, foreknow, and foreordain, for “with God all things are possible.” (Mt 19:26) The question is what God sees fit to foresee, foreknow, and foreordain, for “everything that he delighted to do he has done.”—Ps 115:3.

No we are not predisposed to either be saved or not be saved. Jesus died for us all and every human being has a chance to be saved.
