The adoption takes places when you and I choose by faith to obey the gospel.
ONLY in obeying Acts 2:38 is one placed into that predestinated church where Christ is the Head of the Body. We are BAPTIZED INTO HIM. Gal.3:27, Rom.6:3

Eph 1:4
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
The scripture clearly says the choosing was done before the foundation of the world...
