So, God didn't have knowledge of you as a son before the foundation of the world.

How does one become a son? By believing on the name of Jesus.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

What this means is, you do not believe that God knew you would make the decision to believe in Jesus and become a son.

Yes that is what R C Sproul teaches, however that is not what scripture teaches... God does not select a certain group for salvation.
If He selects a certain group then by default He does not select another.

Did God know Cyrus before he was born? When did God predestinate what Cyrus would do for the Jews?

How about Jeremiah? Did God foreknow and predestinate Jeremiah before he was born?

Your mistake is taking an example then applying that to everyone thereafter. That's not good bible study habits.

Did God know Nineveh would repent and in turn He would repent and not destroy them in forty days?

Same purpose for everyone who is born into this world...to believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, the one true God, and bring Him glory. Isn't that the purpose of everyone born into this world?
