Oh. Well Luke 1:30-38 gives the story, the angel tells Mary that she'll be "overshadowed" and give birth despite being a virgin.

Mary says "Behold, the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word."

So yeah she consents.

Unless you're catholic, then Mary had an immaculate conception which means she was chosen before she was born.. which doesn't violate her free will somehow (foreknowledge mumble mumble), or something like that, I was never Catholic.
