It is possible because, according to Legend, Merlin took Arthur from his biologicalparents Uther and Igraine- to be raised in Sir Ector's court. There is no mention of kidnapping or stealing Arthur away from his parent. And even of Arthur had been kidnapped, Sir Ector knew Uther, so why wouldn't he tell him that his son was at Ector's court while his parents thought of him as kidnapped?
Merlin was Arthur's tutor when he was a child in the care of Sir Ector. Merlin was the one who brought Arthur to Sir Ector from Arthur's mother Igraine. Merlin is responsible for educating Arthur to be the king he is supposed to be.
Arthur was raised by Sir Ector because Merlin was vanished.
Sir Ector and some think Merlin raised him. Merlin did not raise Arthur. Merlin helped Uther quench his lust for Igraine and therefore conceive Arthur but for a price. Merlin told Uther he would help if Uther consented to give up the child that would be conceived in that union. Uther of course said yes--never mind what Igraine, the mother might feel, but this was a different time from ours! Merlin knew the child--Arthur--was special and assured Uther that the babe would be raised by a man of honor--Ector.
Uther Pendragon, the King of England, was deeply in love with Igraine of Cornwall. Uther's assistant, Merlin, a magician, promised that they would be married if Uther gave Merlin a son. So, Uther and Igraine fell in love and had Arthur who was sent to live with Sir Ector for safety and because Uther was going to die.
